On these pages in January we reported that a new, intimate rehearsal/performance space — the Off Center Theater — was in the works in a former commercial bakery at 294-6 North Winooski Avenue in Burlington. Well, it’s still happening, and convincing progress has been made. For one thing, the official name is now the Off Center for the Dramatic Arts, which sounds much fancier. For another, it’s got a snappy logo and a Facebook page (become a fan!). The proprietors, local actors Paul Schnabel and John Alexander and playwright Steve Goldberg, are “kicking construction into high gear,” according to an email from Alexander. Stay tuned for a grand opening later this spring.
