I am the daughter of the general contractor who built the Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford Ct. The name of the company was Henry and Gerety inc. I remember all kinds of stories about the challenges of the construction. The wood for the building was made in England and shipped over to Stratford so the wood would be authentic . My father had to wait for weeks for the wood to be delivered. Lots of people came out to see the new wood go up on the building but there was one problem........ when the wood arrive it quickly became evident that our US nails were not strong enough to go through the wood !!!!! My dad had to get in touch with the company in England and explain their problem and it took several weeks for the new nails to arrive !!! Once they got here they did indeed work and everyone sighed with relief because opening night was scheduled for a few weeks from then. I remember the opening night with Jack Palance starring in a play and there were tv and radio stations there to help cover the opening of this beautiful and authentic theatre. My father was interviewed on radio that night and so was my 16 year old dramatic sister who said when asked about the theatre and the fact that my Dad had been the general contractor she said it was all " fantabulous " !!!!
