The Ogunquit Playhouse — which over the years has been the summer theatrical home to stars from Douglas Fairbanks Jr. to Sally Struthers — is proposing a major renovation.
Representatives for the nonprofit Oqunguit Playhouse Foundation met Monday night with the town planning board to share details of the $62 million project, which is still in the early review stage.
The proposal calls for a fully reconstructed theater at the 10 Main St. location. It would add 20 seats to the existing 700-seat capacity. Also new would be an arts-and-education center, concessions building, courtyard, offices and on-site housing — to accommodate 75 performers and staff. The current 280-car parking area would be expanded by seven spaces.
