Whatever happens it will be good because we can move forward and have a more productive theater schedule.

But sharing is not going to get any easier if there is more theater. We do want community theater. We want good, strong, positive community theater... it is really not a financial consideration. For us it's a space allocation issue.

I've always booked the theater with the idea of accommodating the unique needs of our groups. For example, the symphony can't be two weeks apart, and the theater groups all want to have three weekends per run ... the theater has always been scheduled with these things in mind, but we also have to gauge what the public is asking us to provide.

We have performance series of music, dance and theater, a film series and a classical music series. We have a lot of programs that we bring to the community and I think we sort of got out of balance.

With all of the interested parties, the Board is always looking at the best and highest use type of policy.

Whenever we are not doing a show in our main theater or after the main show, we will do things down here.
