The new chairs, the new paint job, the new HV/AC system and improved bathrooms are all part of the successful Looking Swell campaign. Thanks to the generosity of many. A terrific way to inaugurate them is to come to the Depot Theatre on Sunday, Feb. 7 at 4 p.m. when three local operatic singers — Mell, Dul and Bach — will perform for Gerald Martin Moore, a voice coach to the stars. Moore is on his way to California with Renee Fleming but will stop off at the Depot to give feedback to these young singers and we, the audience, get to listen in.
