Hem- lock St. Admission is free. “This will be an opportunity for those who haven’t been to the theatre in a while, or who have never been inside it, to check it out,” said Patrick Lathrop, execu- tive director. “It’s also our chance to say thank you to our long-time supporters and volunteers.” Light bites, fruit, wine and soft drinks will be served, and there will be performances, lasting a few minutes each, throughout the two hours. Per- formers include Coaster actors Jean White Rice, David Swee- ney, Lisa Fergus, and Coaster Kidz, Parker and Holly Fergus. Tours of the theatre will also be conducted. Although the actual 45th anniversary begins next Janu- ary, the open house is a kick-off for the theatre’s “Take-A-Seat, Preserve the Playhouse” cam- paign to raise funds to replace the creaky, springy seats that can distract from a theatre or con- cert experience with more com- fortable, state-of-the-art seats.
