Anyone from the public was able to bring in clothing in need of repairs, to help fund construction of the "black box" theater the performers are building in Kenai, Burdick said. It is also nice to provide a service "while asking people for money," Imholte joked. "We want everyone to take advantage of people who don't mind mending all afternoon," she said.
