The settlement camp theater.
The Theater at the University Settlement Camp

Multiple groups including BeaconArts, City of Beacon, Wee Play Community Project, Local 845, and the Beacon Independent Film Festival are collaborating to fix up the theater at University Settlement Camp, a beautiful, special space up in the woods, home to many community events. Sprucing-up projects include grounds work, pruning, weeding, planting, demolition and painting.

A call for volunteers has been announced for all to help spruce up the Theater at USC. Sprucing up begins at 9 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 11 (originally scheduled for Aug. 10), and continues all day at the Theatre at the USC, 724 Wolcott Ave., Beacon. All the groups that are involved with and love the Settlement Camp are banding together to form a work-party to give the theater some much-needed TLC. The City of Beacon and Wee Play are providing the materials; volunteers are providing the sweat equity and any gardening tools and gloves.
