It's now spring 2021, and they still don't know when they might move into the new facility. A lack of large performance venues in the area — the Marina Civic Center and the Martin Theatre downtown were both damaged by the storm and are yet to reopen — has meant using school auditoriums to stage plays in the interim, which has translated to fewer potential ticket sales. And ticket sales are the lifeblood of the volunteer organization. Then came COVID-19. "KT has come a long way over the last half a century by the grace of God and volunteers, but the challenge has never been greater," said Sandy Wilson, a co-founder of the theater. "Putting on plays is a challenge in good times. Having to find other places to perform and meeting COVID requirements and trying to tempt audiences to come back is making it almost overwhelming."
