We generally give them a moment to drink it all in, then step forward to greet them, direct them to the box office, restrooms, cafe, or to the funky and fun historiscope for a little trip down memory lane. Two visitors from San Fransisco simply said, "Stunning...just stunning" to each other over and over. I especially like the evenings when there is a Production on the Mainstage, a Production in the Studio theatre, AND a reception or dinner party going on simultaneously on the Mezzanine Balcony -Theatre patrons often inquire about the beautiful, candle lit event on the Mezzanine as they enter for a theater performance and are surprised and delighted to find that PCS does indeed rent the space too. A glorious old/new war-horse of a building indeed. And like yeast, it is indeed taking on a life of its own - what a delightful place to be!
