Volume 24, Issue 2  n  Fall 2020

Friends of the West Shore Theatre The West Shore Theatre is moving another step closer to realizing the vision so many of you shared with us. Some of you have seen the conceptual drawings. We are moving forward with the architect. We are meeting with people who are interested in using the theatre for their performances. We are getting plans and bids for the marquee, lighting, and sound (Did you know you need a separate sound system for movies and one for music and voices?). We know now. So, we are meeting with vendors to get their advice. We have had some good initial success with the fundraising and are moving forward on that front as well. Due to COVID, we have been unable to schedule any additional fundraising events but watch out, we will be coming to you before too long. We have engaged a local New Cumberlander to act as our interim Managing Director and to help us keep moving

forward. Philip Horn and his wife, Anne, have been here only 27 years from California. Philip recently retired as the Director of the Pennsylvania Council of the Arts, after 25 years. He has a strong background in the arts, facilitation, strategic planning and grants. He did his master’s work in Theatre at Michigan State University and undergrad in Los Angeles, where he was raised. He says he is glad to finally put that training to use! If you came to the Town Meeting a couple years ago you will remember him as our facilitator. We’re glad to have his help. Keep yourself up-to-date by looking at our Facebook page (www.Facebook/FriendsOfTheWestShoreTheatre, Inc.) or our Website (www.friendsofthewestshoretheatre.com). Join the movement!
