Not So Common Players is looking for a new home. The group had scarcely completed a very successful run of \u201cLittle Shop of Horrors,\u201d when they had to pack their gear\u2014props, costumes, technical equipment, the works\u2014and get ready to move it to The Grange for temporary storage.<\/p>\n
For 15 or 20 years, the Players were \u201cblessed\u201d to have donated space in a building owned by Windsor Development. Windsor\u00a0 <\/span>recently sold the building and the new owner plans to rent the space the Players were occupying.<\/p>\n The Grange is an older building with electricity but no running water and really not suitable for longterm storage, explained David Rossi, chair of the theater company\u2019s board. \u201cAnybody who has space, give us a call,\u201d Rossi urged. By the way, they are looking for something free but, if necessary, they will consider a rental.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span>The Players have been presenting free theater in Clifton Park for about 25 years. They receive a modest grant from the town but otherwise depend upon volunteer workers and donations to keep going. The town is also helping with the move and provides some rehearsal space.<\/p>\n \u201cWe try to be wise in the way we spend,\u201d Rossi said. They also plan to continue offering free theater. \u201cWe are not at a place where we are looking to charge admission,\u201d he pledged.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Shows are presented in schools, a library, and an outdoor theater stage. The last show was\u00a0 <\/span>staged at the Edison Club, a private golf club. The club has a restaurant and offered dinner and theater packages and a bar at intermission. If all goes well, the company\u2019s next show, \u201cGypsy,\u201d will also be presented at the Edison Club. That is scheduled for April and May. The summer production of \u201cFootloose\u201d is schedule for late July at the outdoor stage, \u201ca really great venue,\u201d where people bring blankets and chairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BY Jill Nagy Not So Common Players is looking for a new home.
