- I have stubbed this article to remove the copyvio. But note that even with permission to use it, the material is very promotional and unencyclopedic in tone and would require extensive copyediting before it can appear here. Future editors, if you have any connection whatsoever with this organization please read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for guidance when editing under these circumstances.

More copyright problems
[edit]I have had to drastically truncate and partially re-write the recently added "History" section. It was largely copied verbatim (with the remainder so closely paraphrased as to also constitute a copyright violation) from the following source:
- Port Washington Public Library 2003). Guide to the Records of the Play Troupe of Port Washington. Inc..
See Copyvio report. If there are any further additions like this, I will simply revert them on sight. The text must be written entirely in your own words. Voceditenore (talk) 08:16, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
