newseats for the theater.

never had a complaint about our
shows, only our seats, so we have done
something about it. We have purchased
wonderful seats to make our theater-
going experience, for our patrons, more
enjoyable.” said Craig A. Hane, artistic
director and founder of the theater
company. “The purchase took a big bite
out of our limited budget, so we are
asking for help, replenishing our
funds.” Seats are available for a dona-
tion in which patrons names will be
attached to the seats engraved on brass
plates.
One row of 11 seats is being desig-
nated as Restaurant Row, in which
eateries of Plymouth can also 'adopt' a
seat. These eateries will receive perks
such as a brass name plate, being
placed on a “preferred' places to eat,
'pre' or 'post' show, a link from the the-
aterwebsite andmore, Hane said.
All the brass plates are being provid-
ed by Barefoot Productions member
Rex Tubbs of The Engraving
Connection of Plymouth.

ing a seat or Barefoot Productions, con-

comfortable seats for all our shows in
