Work on Oak Hill amphitheater to begin OAK HILL The chairman of an effort to build an amphitheater in Oak Hill says the project has the cake. Now it just needs the icing. Project chairman Jim Lively told The Register-Herald that about $177,000 has been raised so far, $2,000 more than the original goal. He says organizers would like to raise a total $200,000 to pay for perimeter lighting, dressing rooms and high-tech stage equipment. Lively says the first phase of construction is expected to begin by Oct. 1. City Manager Bill Hannabass says the deadline for construction bids is Sept. 21. The amphitheater will have a permanent seating area for about 500 people, and festival type seating for at least another 500.

At this time next year, American Players Theatre audiences will be attending productions indoors as well as out. The company's board of directors has voted to continue with previously announced plans to erect a 200-seat black box (flexible) all-weather conventional theater that will increase the number and range of productions the Spring Green company will offer audiences.
The APT also is going ahead with construction of a 10,000-square- foot-production support building that will serve such essential activities as set painting and rehearsing. Both structures will be below the outdoor theater, which is in a natural amphitheater at the top of a hill. Audiences climbing the hill will see the new buildings on their right as they begin their hike.

SPRINGFIELD -- The adage that no matter your talents, you're never fully appreciated in your own hometown was disproved Tuesday night when singer, songwriter, pianist and Springfield native John Legend came home for a free outdoor concert at Veterans Park.
A record crowd -- some with lawn chairs, some standing -- filled the downtown park around the newly renovated amphitheater -- sweeping up the steep hill at stage left, flowing into a parking area to the right of the stage and even crossing the throughstreet behind the pavilion's main seating area.
