The office is being loaned to the organization by one of its supporters and will be used for office work and some storage, said Pat Setzer, office manager for Stagestruck.

The children's theater group is also being loaned a warehouse on John Street to store the sets, costumes and props that were created over the past week for "Peter Pan" and the lumber and tools that survived the fire that destroyed its warehouse on Chestnut St.
