"While our productions keep pace with the times, our physical plant is aging. Much of our infrastructure is beginning to break down. Now is a good time to test the market for interest in our First Avenue property and what other locations would meet our needs."
Kelsh announced the formation of a building committee and a fundraising committee. He also announced the First Avenue location would be put up for sale.
