We are moving into a potentially P ermanent Home, the church-like structure on West Lawn Avenue just off Monroe Street, formerly the Sunrise Preschool. We have negotiated a lease for the lower level, starting April 15, with an option to buy the entire building. All summer program rehearsals will also be at the new building. We're planning work sessions starting immediately to demolish some non-loadbearing walls, pull carpet, paint, and so forth. See the schedule below, and check it frequently.
Many hands make light work.
One task before us is to develop the necessary financing to purchase and operate the building. We've already created YSP Foundation, Inc. as the non-profit support organization that will oversee and centralize all concerns regarding the initial rental, eventual purchase, and operation of the building. This will leave YSP itself free to concentrate solely and completely on its artistic endeavors and on our young actors. We need a few people for planning and demolition Tuesday, April 17, 7pm. More people for demolition, moving items to the dumpster, possibly painting.
