T Close voiced his concerns that the stage design for the Harrington School would not he
adequate for Community Theater. T Lee responded by saying that a stage higher than 30-inches
would not be safe for young children. Since the Harrington redesigned avm/cafeteria cannot
accommodate as many adults as the High School(aonrox. 980 neonle), consensus was that the
High School, also being air conditioned, was the better venue for Community Theater
productions.
