ry Theatre proje ct nearing completion
The first phase of restoring
the old A.M. Polley stable to
the Livery Theatre is
nearing completion with
phase two about to be
started, according to Iain
Bain, executive director for
the Goderich Arts Foun-
dation and the Livery.
"The only thing that could
possibly hold up the work is a
lack of funds. However, the
fund raising committee is
swinging into action to ap-
proach foundations and
corporations to help raise the
$297,000 needed to complete
the project," Bain explained.
The fund raising com-
mittee will be seeking funds
from a number of cor-
porations and foundations
across Canada.
He is confident that the
money will be raised and
that small performances will
be able to be produced in the
new facility by October or
November of this year.
"The Goderich Little
Theatre plans to produce
their first performance in
the Livery in October or
November," he said
Bain acknowledged that
the Livery will not be used
for theatre productions only
but, will be able to ac-
comodate meetings,
banquets and other func-
tions.
"The seating is portable
and change rooms can easlly
be converted to meeting
rooms," he said.
Bain explained that the
foundation hopes to attract
-other community groups to
tise the facilities although he
emphasized that the Livery
has• no intention of com-
peting with other facilities in
Goderich. He also explained
that the foundation will only
be invovled in the operation
of the facility and not in the
production or planning of
events and plays.
The Arts Foundation is
confident that when the
Livery is fully operational
that it will be self sufficient
in the money required to run
the building. Projected costs
and revenue show that the
goal of self sufficiency is
possible.
Bain said that the
renovation is at the present
time running below
projected costs and that the
work is only one week behind
schedule. The foundation is
looking ahead to several
events and displays. that
could be presented in the
Livery. According to Bains
the Ontario Science Centre
has expressed interest in
setting up a science display
in the building next summer.
Bain also hopesthat the
Livery will help attract
tourists to Goderich.
"With its position right off
The Square, the Livery
should attract people to The
Square, he said.
The Arts Foundation is
planning several events to
focus attention on the new
facility and would ap-
preciate volunteer support
from interested residents.

fession," said Mrs.
McDonald.

sultant for the past 11 years.
