Preserving the Leddy Center
February 26, 2008
When was the last time you went to the theater? I don’t mean to the movies, I mean to a play. When have you seen actors up close and personal? Have you heard the crinkle of a dress, seen the glint from the stage lights in an actor’s eye, heard each breath being drawn during an emotional scene?
At the Leddy Center for the Performing Arts in Epping you have this opportunity, at least for now.
Elaine Gatchell is the director of the Leddy Center. As a child she did what children did in the 1950s without TV, she played outside. But Gatchell’s play was really the beginning of a lifelong path.

PLEDGE TO HELP
The Gustavsons have offered the Leddy Center theater the opportunity to rent to own the Leddy building first floor so they can access their current second floor theater space. Gatchell hopes 200 people will come forward and pledge at least $10 a month for a year so the first year’s rent can be raised. A pledge form can be obtained at www.leddycenter.org/pledgeletter. Gatchell hopes to continue the season’s production schedule and children’s camps as scheduled. To plan to see a play, musical production or enroll in a camp visit www.leddycenter.org.
