Andrew-4nx Photo by Gerard Creces Talk about leaked to the press - Goderich Little Theatre president, Stephanie Scholten throws superstition to the wind, hoping the town can find room in the 2009 budget for urgent repairs for the Livery roof. Livery looking to Goderich council for roof repair funds Gerard Cream signal-star staff It's a big request for a big part of God- erich's history, but Goderich Little The- atre is hat -in -hand, asking town council for $50,000 for urgent repairs. From animals getting inside to snow in the dressing rooms, the need for those repairs is making itself apparent in a number of ways, according to GLT pres- ident Stephanie Scholten. A letter from GLT to the town dated Nov. 14, said the repairs need to be com- pleted immediately for the roof, soffit and fascia of the building. Much of . the eavestroughing on the Livery is missing, and the roof itself is sagging and leaking in many places. Rotten wooden fascia also shows signs of a buildling in decay. After their initial repair consultation two years ago, GLT undertook the neces- sary fundraising to repair the crumbling stone facade at the front of the building, but Scholten admits, fundraising may be difficult in a community hit hard from the manufacturing downturn and pro- ceeds from their productions leave little after costs are covered. "We only manage to make enough to keep going," she said. "For serious fundraising, we don't really have the structure to do that yet." The total of the repairs is estimated at $100,000. Scholten said while their mission statement is to offer quality entertain- ment, their duties go beyond, to the Liv- ery itself. "We're not just a club that puts on plays," she said. "We also have a stew- ardship role." To that end, Scholten said they are looking to the community for support and that means municipal dollars for the project. She said the building itself has histori- cal significance in Goderich, undergoing many transitions over the years. The Livery has been spared the wreck- ing ball before, and Scholten said main- tenance is. once again needed to make sure the building remains a valuable public place in the downtown core. The funding issue has been referred to the 2009 budget by council.
