Gail Heinsohn is reporting in the Chatham Courier the PS21's application to build a permanent structure has been approved by the Chatham Zoning Board of Appeals. The town reached an agreement with the 14-year old performance venue late last month, and the ZBA voted to amend the special use permit. One of the concerns the agreement addressed is sound. Over the years, neighbors have complained of what they describe as noise. The appropriate sound level will be determined in pre-testing once the building is constructed. Periodic testing will also be conducted to ensure the recommended sound level is maintained. The new structure will be a 99-seat black box theater in the winter, which will open up in the summer to become a 300-seat open-air theater. The venue will operate from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and until 11:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. The project now moves to the Planning Board for site plan review.
