Input Sought on Performing Arts Needs and Wants in the Plateau Community

Enumclaw-based Chalet Arts Showcase Theater is working with the UW Evans School of Public Affairs to get a better gauge of what Plateau residents want in a local performing arts venue.

Have you been enjoying the multiple entertainment events that have taken place at the Chalet Theatre in Enumclaw recently?

Whether it was the week-long Folk Music as History children's series in February, blues artist Reggie Miles, Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, children's entertainer Eric Ode or pianist Bob Milne, there is one local organization to thank for putting on these events.

The Chalet Arts Showcase Theater (CAST) group was formed in 2011 to explore how to expand and optimize the local landmark theatre for use as more than just a venue for motion pictures.

To better understand the needs of the community and how residents in and around Enumclaw might use the theatre, CAST has sought the help of University of Washington graduate student Mochen Cui who is beginning her work in conducting a feasibility study of the venue.

One foundation of Cui's work is a survey she has prepared to collect community input, not so much about the Chalet but about needs and wishes for community arts amenities at large. Wish you could catch professional comedy shows or ballet performances without trekking to Seattle or Tacoma? Here's your chance to share your thoughts.

The survey is currently online at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/M5M96QT.

Tell Us: What act or performer would you like to see at the Chalet?

Hi, Susan and Lou. We do know that our events calendar has issues at the moment with incorrect timesRead More displaying, and our engineering team is at work to correct this. My best suggestion at the moment is to post a comment on an event with the correct time, if you aren't able to go in and edit an event that you previously posted. Our ownership has not changed -- we have been and continue to be a part of the AOL family. Our intent with the new design is to highlight the great content that our users create and share with the community. We know there have been some bumps with our launch and are working diligently to fix them. We hope you'll be patient with us and continue to share on Patch.
