Meeting Consensus: Keep the Playhouse, Maybe Expand It

The town loses money by leasing the Playhouse building to Bow Tie Cinemas, but the consensus at a public meeting: Keep the Playhouse going. New Canaan could do various things with the Playhouse building, owned by the town and now leased to Bow Tie Cinemas - construct a stage for live performances, have a film group operate from it, But one option rejected or discouraged by most panelists and members of the public at a recent meeting was to close the place, even though the town doesn't now make enough money to break even when its costs and rent revenues are compared, according to reports about the meeting this week.
