Richard Corley Quotations

No other performing arts group has had to go two years without a home space.

I've been involved in the construction of several theaters around the country, but this is the first time I've even seen architects and builders so extraordinarily receptive and responsive to the needs of the theater and theater artists. They have really kept their eye on the ball and are treating this as a space specifically to make plays.

The theater is designed for the actors' voices. Now an actor can whisper anywhere on the stage and be heard.

The old playhouse never had your own journey to it but this one does. It now has a separate identity.

It will boost the cost some. We don't know how much yet, but we certainly think that is part of it.

And that is huge. Possibly during some summer months we'll allow this theater to be used by other groups. But we'll always have primary residence in this space, and that has never been the case before.

What's the single biggest thing the audience wants to know about? The most often asked question I get is not about the plays or the actors. It's about the seats.
