Hit hard by the recession, Kudzu Playhouse will be closing in January 2011.
On January 14th, 2011, Jeannie and Wally Hinds will lock the doors to the Kudzu Playhouse for the last time. Like many small businesses, the recession has been hard on the Kudzu Playhouse. According to Mr. Hinds, "It costs $7,000 each month to cover just the rent and utilities for the theater. We depend completely on donations and ticket sales to cover these expenses and, unfortunately, audiences have dwindled over the last couple of years as people look for ways to cut back." The Hinds have been passionately involved in the metro Atlanta community theater scene for over 20 years. Noticing the lack of quality productions available to audiences outside the perimeter, Jeannie and Wally decided to open the Kudzu Playhouse in Roswell Town …
