After months of hard work and planning, the new lift is finally installed and functioning! A special THANK YOU to Bob Brandriff for engineering and manufacturing the custom platform base and making sure the new lift would fit in the limited space in our entrance area. Also, a big thank you to Wlad Petruniw and Christine Crugnola Petruniw for their generous donation that went a long way to help fund this important project! We are looking forward to serving our patrons who find the need for this assistance getting into the wonderful Bradley Playhouse!
