Seaside to Welcome Barnum Festival Summer Tent
The O Henry Tent firm will deliver a 3500 seat theater in the round for Seaside park Bridgeport. Mayor Curran and Barnum Festival leaders push the project as a major cultural advance with city and festival sharing a $25000 tent cost. Ben Segal aids design. Park Board approval enables summer use for community programs after the Fourth of July festival.
