TERRACE — The roof
leaks, there’s no heat,
and the plumbing is
defective; the Terrace
Little Theatre at 3625
Kalum Street is in need
of extensive repairs.

by Michael
Kelly

In a recent tour of the
building, Little Theatre
Society president Robin
MacLeod pointed out ex-
tensive water damage to
the second floor ceiling
from leaks in the roof.
She said that during a
cold spell last year the
pilot light in the gas
boiler furnace went out,
causing the heating pipes
and plumbing to freeze
and burst. The theatre
has remained unheated
since then and is
unusable for productions
or rehearsals.

MacLeod indicated
that although insurance
covers the repairs to the
heating pipes and plumb-
ing, the out-dated boiler
will be a continuing pro-
blem. She said that the
most workable solution
would be the installation
of a gas-fired forced-air
system at an estimated
cost of $8900. Contrac-
tors’ estimates for roof
repairs are approximate-
ly $9200, she added.

Assistance

In a recent letter to
Terrace municipal coun-
cil, the Little Theatre ap-
pealed to the municipal-
ity for financial
assistance. At its Jan. 27
meeting council referred
the request to the
Recreation, Parks and
Library Committee. On
Feb. 6 that committee in-
formed the society that
there were no municipal
funds available for the
repairs. They did ‘sug-

MacLeod said that the
society is preparing ap-
plications to both
sources.

-- MacLeod also in-

dicated that a municipal
building inspector will
examine the theatre in
the near future to ensure

that the structural condi-
tion of the building
justifies the investment.

Theatre Society is not
standing still. MacLeod
said that during a recent
production meeting the
members decided to pur-
sue two fund-raising pro-
jects. They will look into
the possibility of holding
a “‘carbaret night’ at the
Terrace Arena, and they
are hoping to stage a
benefit concert at the
R.E.M. Lee Theatre in
early March featuring
Laurie Thain, a_ well-
known country singer
from Terrace.

The Society is present-
ly working on two pro-
ductions for the B.C.

ton and Brendan Elliot,

Gloria Nichols, Kelly
