Finally, after almost 20 years of wandering, Theatre in the Rough comes home to the New McPhetres Hall at 4th and Gold, Downtown.
Designed by architect Jeff Roberson and co-artistic director Aaron Elmore, the new McPhetres will feature a raised stage, proscenium arch, curtains,
catwalk, demountable seating and all the trimmings. We just need to pay for it. Created in 2008, the New Home Fund is a Donor Advisory Fund with the
Juneau Community Foundation. Theatre in the Rough has pledged to donate $150,000 to finish and furnish the New McPhetres Hall at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church.
We hope to have the money gathered and the hall ready to finish by March of 2011. On the closing night of what we hope to be a production of Our Town in the
unfinished hall, we hope to present Holy Trinity's contractor with the contents of the fund and the instruction, "Make it beautiful."
