While he conceded that structu- ral problesas — which are clearly documented in a new North Shore Arts Comrnission study — hada bearing on the voard’s decision to cut the season short, failure to develop an audience was the real problem. He doubted whether the theatre would begin producing its own plays any time soon, but he was optimistic about its future as a rental facility. The task now, he said, is to welcome back community groups the theatre had managed io alienate over the last three years. “Nobody wants to go there because they demand too much for money, and they put you off at the box office,’’ said one member of the North Vancouver Community Players group. Strachan agreed that the theatre was too expensive for amateur groups and that there were too many rules on how to use it. “It was generally not a very friendly place for community groups, but that’s being addressed right now. It’s just a change of attitude that's needed to make Presentation House Theatre a more valuable space.’’ DON’T BE AFRAID ...
