Putnam County Playhouse is continuing updates to its technical equipment. We are changing from stage incandescent lighting to LED lighting equipment. The new lights are more energy efficient. They also operate at a lower temperature, making the barn more comfortable – onstage and off.
The Parke County REMC presented us recently with a $3000 grant to help us with the project. Madison Cooper, a representative of the company, gave President Shelly McFadden the check.
Also on hand was PCPH Technical Director, Dustin Bond, who is spearheading the instrument upgrade.
The cast for Grease has been chosen. The musical opens our 62nd season and will be onstage June 8-10 & June 14-17.
Check out the cast HERE.
Season ticket brochures have been mailed. Please return them as soon as possible. Single tickets go on sale at the open house Sunday, June 4, at 2 p.m. The box office will not be open until then.
