CAC to run Prince George Playhouse
PRINCE GEORGE – It was three years ago this month that the City committed half a million dollars to repair the exterior cladding of the Prince George Playhouse, which had been damaged by the weather. At the time, the City was also looking for someone else to run it. And, today, that “someone” is the Community Arts Council.
“Well, first of all, it’s the only civic theatre Prince George has,” says Eli Klasner, Executive Director for the Arts Council. “And while it’s long in the tooth and it’s gone through quite a few physical challenges and management issues, it’s what we have.”
And to make the most of what they have, Shelby Richardson has been brought on board as the Program Manager.
