I looked around for some third-party sources to indicate notability, but couldn't find much. Of course, the article has no sources either. And the whole "plans to move into a new home in late 2007" bit doesn't look too good either - if it looks like someone wrote this for promotional purposes, never intending to maintain the article, well, that is what likely happened: its creator's only contributions are for this article. In sum, then, fails WP:N and WP:RS. Biruitorul Talk 23:19, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 *  Delete Sounds like a nice organization, but hasn't established notability. Thanks for making the effort of looking for references to improve the article. ChildofMidnight (talk) 02:30, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per rewrite with additional sources. ChildofMidnight (talk) 02:24, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep The theater is well recognized by the local community and media, see here. And one of the references given in the article establishes the introduction of new theatre. LeaveSleaves talk 02:56, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, but do those news sources, as required by WP:N, accord "significant coverage" to the theatre, or merely note that it has staged certain productions? The latter seems to be the case. -- Biruitorul Talk 03:00, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Here are a few which concern the theatre:, , , , . Unfortunately, most of these stories (except for No. 4 here) require subscriptions. So it's not practical to use them as sources in the article, but I think they are sufficient to establish notability. LeaveSleaves talk 03:14, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I think they should definitely be added to the article. They are good sources and relevant to the article. I think some rewriting of the intro noting the major theater purchase and other notable events would also be helpful. ChildofMidnight (talk) 02:24, 21 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:24, 20 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - sources uncovered by Sleaves easily meet the requirements of WP:N to justify inclusion. Nothing else to see, I think. Wily D  12:56, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, it's unfortunate that many of the sources are not easily available online but the sources do exist to satisfy this article's notability. Eóin (talk) 04:15, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
