I hope they keep some of those tree.

I hope they keep some of those tree.

In most of the plans it shows that they have a large amount of green space that they are keeping. Especially along the stream that runs through this property. They might prune them up a little, but it would be smart to leave most of them in place if no home is to be built on those greenspace areas.

Demo of the church parking lot has been underway for about a week.

I'm still very sad about losing the Jewel Box, of course, but I also wish more would have been done over the past few decades to make use of that amphitheatre.

Seeing it all just turned back to dirt is hard.

That amphitheater was really cool and completely unused for a long time.

I used to run my dogs through this property and it was really beautiful and interesting.

I did a few shows out there in 92 when Jewel Box opened it back up. They had a great run there for several years, but I think the church made some demands that basically led to the end of Jewel Box producing shows out there. If memory serves, of course.

It was a lot of fun to perform in that space, even in the summer heat.

Are there any photos anyone could share of the Jewel Box. Would love to see it.

This is from the OK Historical Society:

If my orientation is correct, we're looking at Door 4. The section under the sconce and to its immediate right were able to roll under the wall to build stages, as needed. Most of the shows I did there were 3/4 in the round, and the center most section, under the booth, was almost always part of the stage. I'll see if I have any digital pics. Pretty sure I have some pics of the amphitheatre from our days out there. Those sets were amazing.

This is just an image I found on Google, but this is looking center stage, at the booth, which is behind the part of the set painted blue. You can see they had put in nice theatre chairs. Not sure when the picture Pete posted is from, but I can say the seats were dark red velvet when I started working there in 92. I'm not sure when they upgraded to the ones in the picture.

On either side of the sound booth are 2 stage doors, often used as entrances, though they appear to be covered up in this set. The main entry to the theatre was an extra wide door, just off the left side of this picture (our left), with stairs leading to the seats.

Most of the pics I have were publicity pics, which were usually taken before the set was finished, and not in the theatre.

It's neat to see how this matches up to the site layout that was recently posted.

Lexford Park Website has been updated with Builders, Lot map with pricing, and Floor Plan examples. Really nice update.

You can also download the Plat Phases and other resources HERE. They have done a great job of informing everyone what it will look like and who is invloved.

No work for about a month now. Anyone know why?
