Set Build Space Sought by Acting Up

ACTUP-logoActing Up has lost the use of our storage/building facility to a fire last Friday night.

We are now looking for a space to build for our upcoming musical MATILDA.

We are looking for space at least 500 sq ft. starting in July through September 13. We would prefer electricity and water. Even better if you have power tools, (ie. a table saw, etc) that we could borrow.

Please let us know if you have any suggestions or leads. Thanks in advance.
