The Red Brick Playhouse

Missouri · United States · Church

One of the oldest buildings in the town, in poor condition, used for a while as a community theatre. The old caretaker did not want to share it with.

This church on Walnut Street at Nevada, Missouri is among the oldest structures in the town and is in poor condition.

For a few years it was used as the Red Brick Playhouse for community productions.

It is associated with a former caretaker who, by every account, was not pleased about sharing the building with a theatre company.

The lights flickered while people were in the lavatory, and other things followed.

A caretaker objecting to what a building is being used for is one of the most consistent characters in this whole collection. They turn up in schools, theatres and churches, and they are always described as territorial rather than frightening.

A church converted to a playhouse is exactly the sort of change such a man would have opinions about.

The building is in poor repair.
