After two years of hard work, the sun is now shining on local arts with the unveiling of the Tamaqua Performing Arts Hall in the former Salem Church, Pine Street. The new theaterfeatures a wooden stage, lighting and sound systems, new seating, carpets, pub tables and chairs. Budding thespians are dwarfed by the high proscenium arch, shown here, as rehearsals for a wide array of productions and presentations kicked into high gear this week.
