But Skaggs got a clear view of how people felt about the theater as longtime actors, volunteers and audiences took a last look backstage during a series of farewell tours.
“I knew and I understood when we had conversations about me coming here that many people considered the Players to be family,” he said in a recent interview. “One of the most impressive things in my time here is how often that term is used and it’s unprompted and people really care about this 91-year-old organization known as The Players.”
That became obvious again two weeks ago when volunteers started posting photos of work crews demolishing the old building, knocking down exterior walls and exposing some of the painted posters representing shows presented years ago.

BOWLING GREEN Ky.-After the Arts of Southern Kentucky received a huge financial boost, another recently came to the organization.
Two gifts combining to equal $75,000 were made by Sherry and Jeff Reed, along with an anonymous donor. Jeff Reed is the president and CEO of the Arts of Southern Kentucky.
The $50,000 coming from the Reed’s gift will be split evenly between operating expenses and the establishment of the Sherry and Jeff Reed endowment.
This gift comes after the announcement of a one-million-dollar donation from Rita and Jim Scott. Gary Ransdell with the Arts of Southern Kentucky says it’s a sign of great things to come.
