  • A Proposal From: North Frontenac Little Theatre To: Central Frontenac Township Council “Toward a Permanent Presence at the Oso Hall”
    A PROPOSAL FROM: NORTH FRONTENAC LITTLE THEATRE TO: CENTRAL FRONTENAC TOWNSHIP COUNCIL “TOWARD A PERMANENT PRESENCE AT THE OSO HALL” WE APPROACH COUNCIL AS A LONG SERVING COMMUNITY THEATRE IN SEARCH OF A NEW PERFORMANCE VENUE THAT WOULD PROVIDE US FINANCIAL SECURITY, STABILITY AND THE ASSURANCE OF THE FUTURE OF OUR PROUD INSTITUTION. JUNE 23, 2020 1. BACKGROUND ➘ NFLT is a proud, not for profit, volunteer-driven, community theatre that faithful audiences support through ticket purchases which offset production costs allowing us to stay afloat ➘ After forty years of crowd-pleasing performances at Sharbot Lake High School, and more recently, at the Granite Ridge Education Centre, NFLT came to the decision earlier this year that continued use of the school stage as our main venue is no longer viable. Reasons for this decision vary greatly and include new user fees that the Limestone District School Board put in place last year ➘ At a Council Meeting on November 12, 2019, we requested township support concerning this dilemma, and floated the idea of adopting the Oso Community Hall as our new venue. Council reacted favourably to the idea and waived rental fees for our trial production at the hall. 1 ➘ NFLT next approached the Central Frontenac Recreation Committee. They voted unanimously to allow us membership under their Arts and Culture sector, and asked Council liaison, Sherry Whan, to bring the results of this vote back to Council for discussion and hopeful ratification. 2. RATIONALE ➘ With the possibility of township support in terms of financial security, the Oso Hall is the obvious best bet for an entertainment venue in Sharbot Lake that suits NFLT’s needs.
