The Old Schoolhouse Theater Foundation (OSTF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to purchase the Periwinkle Playhouse from the Sanibei Community Association (SCA). The purchase is set to close on August 16, 2004. "We are incredibly excited to be able to continue providing excellent musical theater to our Island communities in this larger, more up-to-date facility," said Chuck Ketteman, OSTF Board President. "Our current Old Schoolhouse facility is an island trea- sure, and has been a large part of our success. But over the past few years the cost of maintaining the building has escalated significantly, and we were fac- ing major additional repairs if we con- tinued to use it.
