FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Lease Extended, Actors’ Summit to Stay for Another Year
(HUDSON, Ohio)
– The Actors’ Summit
will perform for another year at its current location, thanks to the building’s
owner, Margaret McGrainor, who recently extended the lease to the professional
theater group.
The theater, which has been operating on a month-to-month lease since its five-year
lease expired in 2006, was able to work out an arrangement, and the theater
will stay put for at least another year. Hudson City Council passed a
resolution June 18, asking the property owner and the theater group to work
together to try and keep Actors’ Summit
downtown.
“The theater is
such an important part of the Hudson community,”
said Kathie Franks, president of the Actors’ Summit board of trustees. “The theater
brings art and culture to our city and encourages shopping and dining downtown.
We are thankful to Mrs. McGrainor, who has helped preserve this important
resource in our community.”
The theater will open
its 10th season with the regional premiere of the musical comedy “Main
Travelled Roads,” which will run from Sept. 18 to Oct. 5.
“We are extremely
grateful to Mrs. McGrainor to be able to perform for another year, and Actors’
Summit will
certainly deliver another great season of theater to our community,”
Franks added.
