Constructing the Dream: Work on the Huish Performance Arts and Cultural Education Center Continues Under Guidance of Richard Lindsey

Richard Lindsey (pictured above) lays out the plans guiding a transformation of the old Huish Theatre into a venue that will attract not only the performing arts, but will also fulfill educational, cultural, social, and informational programs.  According to Mr. Lindsey, the restoration committee is already receiving rental requests, including a dance instructor who will soon be teaching lessons in an adjoining office space.  This will bring in revenue to help pay for the costly project.  Additional funding is needed. For those who would like to contribute to the Huish PACE Center project,  A Go Fund Me account has been established and can be found at https://www.gofundme.com/27z6xzr9

In a room above the red and white marquee that had, up until fourteen years ago, announced motion pictures playing inside the Huish Theatre and, now, note performances held at other venues, Richard Lindsey unfolds the plans directing a revival of a building long left silent.  Mr. Lindsey had been named Onion Days Grand Marshal and was set to ride in the Labor Day parade not long after The Payson Chronicle met up with him in late August for a story.  Before his grand marshal induction, he had also assumed the monumental role as committee chair overseeing the restoration of the former theater into the Huish Performance Arts and Cultural Education (PACE) Center. Find the rest of the story, the first of a multi-part series, in the September 7, 2016 edition of The Payson Chronicle.
