Battle for Knutzen

STEVE DUNKELBERGER: KNUTZEN OPERATIONS UP FOR COUNCIL VOTE >>>

Federal Way officials are set to consider whether the city's resident professional theater company, Centerstage Theatre Arts Conservatory, or Tacoma Musical Playhouse will take on the operations of the city's Knutzen Family Theatre.

A city committee voted last week to disregard the recommendations of Department of Parks and Recreation panel that would have given the operations of the theater to TMP.

 The committee's recommendation to the Federal Way City Council calls for the operations contract to go to Centerstage, which is the resident theater company at the Knutzen complex.

The matter is set for a vote on April 7.
