We need to convince the City of Cle Elum to preserve theatre

Cle Elum needs to have a place where people can enjoy community plays.  Robert Michael Nevills the visionary behind this place before he passed away in December 2013.  He visioned this place as a place where people would enjoy local performances.  Currently the Upper Kittitas County arts have been using a venue in Roslyn where is the same place.  Mr Nevills would take his drama class from time to time to rehearse performances.  We need to convince the landlords the City of Cle Elum and Cle Elum taxpayers to help fund a venture to pay to help restore this theatre back to the days when it opened in 1923.  I am sure the Farm and Home across the street could donate or give a discount to the group the paint and hardware needed to make this happen.  This place could once again make welcome a community become the center of the community once again like it was in 1923.  This 93 year old building can have life put back in it.
