Organizers hope that the kinds of plays "and players lined up combined with the low ticket prices and the --new - improved facilities will make the Playhouse 'one_ of the area's most popular entertain- ment spots. - One of the most important events in the short history of the Playhouse, as seen bar• its 'originators, was Ole successful bid for a Federally sponsored Local Initiatives Grant. The grant will put 10 persons to work over .a five , month period on projects of renovation for the facilities. • "By the time.the 1973 season opens, we hope to have accom- • plished these things," Benson Tuckey; chairman of the Board of Trustees explained, "a recon- ditioned barn with. new k bby, bar and refreshment facilities, a gift boutique, a new expanded art exhibit area, and above all, new public rest room facilities, a reconditioned drive shed housing new offices, ticket of- fice and dormitory, a face lift for the old farm house with imp pro"vements in the kitchen and bathroom facilities." The Government Grant is ex- pressly to create jobs and pay workers' salaries so building materials must come fronf other sources. To this end the playhouse has purchased a nearby barn and materials from it are being used in the theatre renovations. William Heinsohn, Fund Raising chairman, points out however that this does not provide all the materials needed and particularly those • required in the installation of the public rest rooms. "For that end it is imperative," he said, "that we launch the 1973 fund .raising campaign at once."
