I would like to offer the Capitol Theater located in Laurens, SC as a possible project for your team. The brick building was built on the South Side of the court house square around 1880. It served as a textitle mill until around the mid 1920’s. At that time it was converted into a vaudeville theater and around 1926 a movie screen was added to show motion pictures. There are people still living in the area that can remember the theater having both live acts occasionaly and motion picture. After vaudeville went out of business, the theater remained as a motion picture house until 1963. It closed then and the building has been used as various retail shops. Today it is own by Ronnie, and Debbie Campbell. Debbie operates a dress and shoe shop in part of the building, but both of them want to restore the theater for live productions, and maybe a move or two every now and then. My wife Bonnie and I became acquanted with them this past summer and have offered to help them as much as we can. Both Bonnie and I have a great many years of experience in theater work, and we serve more or less as technical advisors, however we do as much of the physical work as we can do. (Which isn’t much. We are both in our mid seventies.) We would love to have you take a look at the project, (which is big) We realize that time constrants would not allow you do the entire project, but if you could do a segment on repairing the roof, or repairing the stage, I think that it would be a subject that would be interesting to you viewers.
I have some pictures of the theater as it is today. I have not attached them to this E-mail, but I have built a web site that contains them. The link to the site is www.Act2CurtainUp.netfirms.com . Please take a look at it, and if possible please consider this project.
