He said he felt that the downtown merchants were very supportive of their program and noted that Loretta Thomas from Bit of Country sold $1,000.00 worth of tickets and the owner of Spanky's Cafe stayed open later than usual and hosted their cast party. He said the only problem he saw was that their group did not realize that they would need additional rehearsal time and if they had known that fact ahead of time, they would have requested a larger grant. He also felt it would be helpful if the Peninsula Center Stage (PCS) could provide some type of pamphlet listing the charges for renting their facility. Mr. Weil said he worked well with Kenneth and Hunter of the PCS and that things went very smoothly. He said he also had great cooperation and help from Sally Hartman on behalf of the Cultural Commission. Mr. Weil mentioned the following problems the Peninsula Musical Theater experienced at the Fox Theater: -Fox Theater staff did not always know who was responsible for particular duties or where things were located. -Lack of leg curtains on the performance stage. -The new thrust of the stage appeared to be insecure. -Unable to keep the theater warm; they had to pay a $165.00 heating surcharge and patrons still complained about the lack of heat in the theater.
