Theatre has been approved!!!!!!!!

Last Thursday evening, the Planning Board of the City of Camden gave final approval for the construction of the new Waterfront South Theatre to be built at the site of my grandparent's bar at the corner of 4th and Jasper Streets. We hope to break ground in March and begin our new season in the fall with a remounting of "Last Rites". Helene Pierson, the Director of Heart of Camden has been dynamic in this effort and is due so much gratitude. Also much thanks to Pepe Piperno, who, through the generosity of his Dominica Foundation, will now begin the building of our dream. I also want to acknowledge the huge contribution of Tom Ehrhardt, our attorney [and a Board Member] for South Camden Theatre Company who has donated so much of his valuable time and talent to this project.

Please come to see "That Championship Season", Jason Miller's Pulitzer Prize winning play which will run from February 1-17th and you can see and hear more about this exciting project and the rebirth of Camden and particularly Waterfront South!

HEAL CAMDEN!!!!!!! ART WILL SAVE US!!!!!!
