- Temple_Theatre_(Sanford,_North_Carolina) abstract "The Temple Theatre is an historic performance center in Sanford, North Carolina. The Temple Theatre was built in 1925 by Robert Ingram, Sr. (owner of the Sanford Coca-Cola Bottling Company), at a time when Sanford had a population of only 3,500. The name "Temple" came from being located next door to what was one Sanford's Masonic Lodge. For several decades, the Temple served as Lee County, North Carolina's principal seat of entertainment. Located half a block from the railroad station, the Temple was a frequent stop on the national vaudeville circuit. After the death of vaudeville, the Temple became a touring house for the road shows of the 1930s (including burlesque), and then a movie theater. During the 1960's, the Sanford Little Theatre and the Footlight Players used the Temple for their community productions. In 1965, the Temple Theatre closed. The rebirth of the Temple Theatre began in 1981 when Mr. Robert Ingram, Jr., the son of the theatre's original owner, donated the building to the citizens of Lee County. Through the efforts of Sam Bass, the building was designated a National Historic Site in 1983 and received a large challenge grant from the North Carolina Legislature. Lee County citizens and businesses matched the grant, along with a significant grant from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation. Through the efforts of residents and organizations, the gutted and vandalized shell of Temple Theatre was refurbished. The Temple reopened in 1984 as a professional theatre.The lobby's richly painted walls and wooden trim flank the original multi-colored floor of hexagonal tiles. Above hangs a crystal chandelier accented in gold, while twin staircases sweep up on either side of the lobby leading to the balcony where the restored tin ceiling can be best appreciated. Backstage, the actors enjoy comfortable dressing rooms, a kitchen, and a lounge area. There is a full counterweight fly system backstage, an advanced communication network, and a computer-controlled lighting and sound system, making the theatre practical and workable. The theatre itself is intimate, with 333 seats. The Temple also has an orchestra pit, which is utilized by musicians, but can be covered to create a larger stage. Because it was designed for vaudeville, the acoustics are superb - highlighted by an ornate painted tin ceiling, and audience members have a good view of the stage from every seat.The Temple is a cultural center and the top year-round attraction in Lee County. The North Carolina Shakespeare Festival, the Red Clay Ramblers, The Kingston Trio, and the Glenn Miller and Count Basie orchestras are among he artists who have performed at the Temple Theatre.Today, The Temple Theatre Company produces seven Main Stage shows per season ranging from musicals to dramas, with each show running for three weeks. All the actors are paid professionals brought in from across the country. The Temple Theatre also hosts stand-up comedians as part of its 'One Night Stands' series. Special events at the Temple range from pop concerts to dance recitals. The Temple attracts patrons from the Research Triangle, the Piedmont Triad, and the Sandhills areas on a regular basis. In all, around 35,000 people visit the Temple each year. All funds raised during the annual fund drive go to the maintenance and operation of the facility (utilities, insurance, equipment, security, etc.). Production expenses come from ticket sales, sponsorships, grants, and advertising. The Temple Theatre is a non-profit organization.The full schedule of events at Temple Theatre can be viewed at http://templeshows.com.Current Staff...Peggy TaphornProducing Artistic DirectorSheila BrewerBusiness ManagerSteven HarringtonTechnical DirectorMaryanna McDonaldBox Office ManagerElsbeth CassandraProduction Stage ManagerThomas Edward DaltonEducation DirectorJon McKoneMaster Electrician/CarpenterChris deLambertMarketing Director".
