Plans under way for Playhouse’s 40th season





The Grand Marais Playhouse will celebrate 40 seasons of plays in 2010 and has already begun planning for it. The Playhouse has hired Linda Dorn to assist with the fundraising and events coordination. Two committees are being formed to assist with the planning.

An Archive Committee will peruse old albums and archive material to compile photos and data to be used in the celebratory year. A Fundraising Committee will assist with the planning, organizing and implementation of creative ideas and fun events to assist with fundraising for the celebratory year and the Playhouse’s future.

An informational meeting and soup dinner with Linda Dorn will be held on Sunday, June 28 at 4 p.m. in the Playhouse office. Stop by to find out more about the 40th season plans that are already under way and ideas for the coming months. Any amount of time donated to the committees is greatly appreciated.

Established in 1971, the Playhouse has produced at least three plays each year as well as numerous special events and workshops. The Playhouse has produced over 200 plays with local actors, technicians, directors and playwrights. Many theater professionals began their careers right here in Grand Marais.
