Cheviot, Ohio – 7/11/12 – The Drama Workshop has purchased their own theater space and will open their first show in October of this year. In renovating the former Glenmore Bowl, we have quickly discovered the amount of blood, sweat, and tears it will take to get it off the ground.

The group’s volunteers are logging in over one hundred hours a weekend and have completed the demolition phase. With the entry of the construction phase of the ambitious and exciting project, we are now reaching out to the rest of the Cincinnati theatre community.

Ray Persing, our Building Committee Chairman is willing to train. “If you want to learn how to do traditional plasterwork, install a drop ceiling, build a wall using metal framing, or hang and mud drywall, this is a great place to learn how. Before you try it on your house, come practice on ours!”

There is plenty of work for the non-skilled laborer as well: cleaning, painting, holding up ladders, scaffolding and walls! “There is nothing you can screw up.” Mr. Persing is fond of saying. “Even two hours is valuable.”

Please consider this as an opportunity for your group to spend a few hours together during the off-season and a chance to learn something new. You will be entered into our Gatlinburg Getaway drawing, and we will provide lunch and beverages. The building is climate controlled with adjacent parking. Contact us with any questions or to reserve your spot today!
