Volunteers needed to get Milton Theatre ready for May reopening

The Milton Chamber of Commerce announces the reopening of the Milton Theatre; it went dark in 2010. The property was purchased in 2013 by Glenn and Lisa Howard of Milton, and the Howards have now leased the space to Premier Center for the Arts.

Based in Middletown, PCA is an organization focused on educational programs intended to nurture well-rounded performers. Students at PCA receive instruction rooted in strong technique and are given opportunities to perform. PCA students participated in over 200 student performances last year and are on pace to surpass that number in 2014, including a recent performance in Disney World in Orlando, Fla. Fred Munzert is the executive director and a producer for PCA Productions and will be leading the effort to bring programs to the Milton Theatre.

PCA is on pace to open the doors in May 2014 with a free children’s workshop but needs community support through volunteers who can help put finishing touches on the theater building to meet its opening-day goal.
