    March 20: second community meeting Saturday MILFORD — “Building the Theater Through Committee’s” is the agenda for the second community meeting being held at the Tom Quick Inn Ballroom from 11 a.m. to 12:30/1 p.m., for the restoration of the Milford Theater. Because of the outstanding response to the e-blasts and supporters wanting to become involved in the fundraising and events aspect of the restoration of the theater this meeting will center on forming the necessary committees to set the stage for the journey in restoring the theater. Outside of the fundraising and events committees being formed, discussions to take place include the development of: Building Committee - from janitorial needs, to future needs of the theater (rehearsal, green room and a patron’s lounge,). Programming Committee - developing programs that generate interest from theater bus tours to dinners and local theater/film/television entrepreneurs living in the area; also creating a “Theater Talks” segment with authors, historians, and health advocates. Survey or the “Who Are We Committee?” — discovering who is our audience and would they subscribe to an “Entertainment Series,” allowing us to bring those performers that a “series subscription” would provide. How to bring these ideas to life of course, will be discussed, along with any other great ideas brought to the table. A statement from the Milford Theater Trust Committee, says, “Now is the time to begin the process of creating a theater for and by the people, a theater that reaches out to young and old; it will be your ideas and work that will make this a reality. We look forward to our beginning the journey with you.” No RSVP is required. If you are interested in bringing back the magic and continuing to sustain the quality of life that Pike County is historically known for, sponsors ask that you join them at the Tom Quick Inn on March 20.
