City Theater in Biddeford Closes Over Leaky Roof
The Biddeford City Theater will close Thursday after a leaky roof and reduced funding halted productions. City officials cut the building budget from 31 105 to 20 170, leaving repairs and safety costs unfunded while volunteers repair and improvise to keep the space usable. The closure endangers the Toy Theater program and local cultural events as residents seek park venues for future performances.
