Anyone can join the Merced Theatre Foundation (free), by writing P.O. Box 716, Merced 95341, (209) 722-3266. I have recently returned to live in Merced; I spent my childhood at this wonderful theatre. It was absolutely appalling that anyone was allowed to nearly destroy such a treasure. Fortunately the foundation is now restoring everything to its original state. It’s about half done now; there is a 75th Anniversary gala in October 2006.
If you join, you will get a newsletter and information on the restoration. Thank heavens some local citizens decided to save this magnificent building.
