Geneva Underground
Playhouse closes
I was disappointed to learn that the operators of the Geneva Underground Playhouse in downtown Geneva recently closed its doors and ceased operations. The playhouse was located in the basement of the Urban Grille restaurant, 524 W. State St. A spokeswoman for the playhouse said supporters could not raise the funds to maintain operations. The Tri-Cities is home to an active arts community, but the GUP will be missed.
