Bah! Humbug! At least that’s what Scrooge would say!

THE SOUND OF SOUND

The Michael McClaine Rehearsal Center is an important part of Putnam County Playhouse. It is an open space that has many uses. Auditions are held here. And rehearsals for the upcoming show are held here while the current show is rehearsing and performing on the Mainstage.

The space is also used as a “green room” for actors during performances. The dressing rooms are also located here. For awhile we have been aware that the acoustics in the MMRC are not perfect for singing and dancing rehearsals – and even speaking voices tend to bounce off the walls. Now we have improved the space.

Working with Dustin Bond as the liaison – we have added sound absorbing panels! This will make working here much more pleasant.

We are excited to begin seeing the results with our first show of the season A Christmas Carol!

Bring it on, 2025!!!
