The Camino Real Playhouse has set aside its dream of creating a $5 million Capistrano Center for the Performing Arts and instead will focus on expanding within its current building to create a 163-seat main stage.
That would about double the size of the current main stage in the theater, housed in a redevelopment agency building on El Camino Real just south of Ortega Highway. The expanded seating would allow the theater to increase revenues, bringing a forecasted $1.1 million through 2014.
The San Juan Capistrano City Council on Tuesday approved a seven-year lease to the playhouse. The plan also calls for the playhouse to scout for a more appropriate location for a permanent home in the downtown. That would allow the city redevelopment agency to sell off its land for a development that would better fit the location."
