FEASIBILITY STUDY OF FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT

The Lighthouse Festival Theatre presents a summer season of Canadian plays in the tourist area of Port Dover. The Festival operates from a 300-seat facility that was originally built as Port Dover Town Hall in 1904.

Looking for ways to expand its programming and marketing, the company hired Janis Barlow in 1993 to undertake a feasibility study. Together with architect Mandel Sprachman, she provided them with a market and operational assessment, a condition report on their existing facility and a proposal for a new theatre facility. The study developed potential marketing, operations and design strategies to better serve the interests of the company and the community.

During the course of the study there were a number of personnel changes and delays while the company considered the repercussions of the condition report on the existing Town Hall.  As a result certain safety, access and public service issues took precedence over consideration of a new facility.
