The main stage shows are saved! (almost…)
Big news from the Old Colony Memorial yesterday – the Town is in talks to give the Showmobile (the trailer stage aka “the main stage”) to the Chamber of Commerce, who will allow volunteers to open it. This means we might just be able to go on with our 4 big shows as originally planned (don’t worry, they’re happening either way). FROM THE OCM:
PLYMOUTH – Event organizers saddled with the added cost of overtime pay for public works employees to open and close the town’s portable stage, known as the showmobile, say they will be forced to cancel free summer concerts or at least seriously curtail them.
But there may be a solution.
Town Manager Mark Stankiewicz has pitched a plan to give the town-owned showmobile to the Plymouth Area Chamber of Commerce, which, in turn, would enlist volunteers to open and close the stage for free, or at very little cost.
