Work Day at the Theatre Monday

At our last general meeting it was decided to have a clean up and Christmas decorating night on Monday, Nov. 30 at 6:30 p.m.

There is a lot to do this night. We are having this clean up prior to the Monroe Crossing Fund Raiser. We will decorate the stage (still as it was for Arsenic and Old Lace) for the concert. Please bring any decorations you have, such as artificial trees, lights, garland, extension cords, adapters, etc.that you don't need or use, that we could use to decorate the theatre for our fundraiser.

We will also be cleaning up the kitchen area to be used as a "green room" for the band.

We will need to remove the curtain in front of the concession stand, set up tables to use that night, etc.

Be sure to purchase your tickets for Monroe Crossing! Anyone who would like to help that night, please let Jerry or Cindy know (372-5742-leave a message). We are also asking the workers to wear black pants (or ladies skirts if you prefer) and white tops.

General Meeting & Upcoming Events

First of all, a huge thanks to everyone who attended "Arsenic and Old Lace" this past weekend! It was a huge success! Hopefully you had as much fun as the actors!

A regular meeting of the WPCT members will be held THIS Wednesday, November 18 at 6:30 p.m. at the Theatre. Everyone is welcome!

On Monday, November 23rd at 7:00 p.m., West Point Central Catholic High School will present their one-act play. The play is a half hour adaptation of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in a 1920's time setting. Cost is $5 for adults, $3 for students (if you have a CC booster club pass--no charge).

On Thursday, December 3, we are bringing in Monroe Crossing, an excellent bluegrass group from Minneapolis, MN. This will be the first stop of their Christmas tour. Besides being an enjoyable evening for you, we hope it will be a big fundraiser for capital improvements. You may purchase your tickets online at our website, at the PetroMart in West Point, or at the Theatre Box Office during weekend movie hours. For the first time, we will be selling numbered seats, so for the best selection, get your tickets NOW for this one-time show!

Balcony Renovation / Expansion Conceptual Drawings

One of the major projects that we've been focusing on lately is the renovation and expansion of the existing balcony area. This is the first set of conceptual drawing from our architect, Eddie Santamaria of Contrivium.

Areas directly underneath the balcony will also be addressed. This includes the restrooms and concession area.

An additional restroom is needed on the main floor. This issue will be addressed at the same time as the expansion of the balcony.

The balcony will be extended an addition 10 feet in order to seat an additional 104 upstairs.

This view shows the graceful curve of the balcony extension. Every effort is being made to blend any new work into the existing architecture.

This is the view of the stage from the top row of the balcony. These could become the best seats in the house!

An overall view of the balcony extension in relation to the overall theatre. Wow!
