I too grew up at the Playhouse around many of the old mainstays and icons of this fine community institution such as the Soller, Owsley,Tornello, Griffith,Gorman and other outstanding families and fondly recall past professional directors such as Ella Gerber,Zeke Berlin,, and so many wonderful actresses and actors who brought such magic to the main stage. Former Ex Director Bentley Lenhoff and then custodian/actor Henry Jones were like my guardians as I spent so many days and evenings under their watchful eye. My parents were patron members of the Playhouse. I know there are many others like me who gained so much experience and enjoyment from our involvement and participation at the Playhouse over the past 30-40 years. It is time for us to pull together and return something back to this Grand Lady who has given us so much! I now live out of state and use my skills, etc teaching youth in communications arts. Someone local please keep us informed about what and how we can channel contributions and other assistance to support the Playhouse and keep it going! Start a group if necessary and provide contact info please! Thank you!
