Default Savannah Center stinks!

I mean literally. We went last night to a musical event and the main lobby had a rank "musty/moldy" smell. Does anyone know why? Could it be coming from the stuffed peacock in the corner?

BUT on a brighter note, Sue Schuler who posts on this forum was brilliant and wowed us all with her voice and her choreography and sheer stage presence.

I felt her influence in many scenes that were just awesome.

I followed the suggestions in the " sing along" part and sang like I was in the shower but didn't remove my clothes.

Nice evening!

Don't know if this is the reason, but this happened at Nancy Lopez restaurant right after they had their carpets cleaned. Hopefully if that is the cause some dry weather will take care of it.

I went to the show opening night and had a blast! What a great idea. Kudos to The Broadway Bound Players!

Suggest you send an email to samwartinbee@distgov.org and ask him that question. Sam is Director of District Property Mgmt. and is very good at responding to emails.

We were there last night also and enjoyed the show! Didn't notice a musty odor, but Sue (my Sue, not Sue S.) did notice that it wasn't as cool in the building as it sometimes is. Maybe there is a correlation.

No kidding Bill? It wasn't in the performance room, just in the main part. You didn't smell it out in the main area?

I was kinda looking for you on stage too. Is your group still performing at the Waterfront Hotel?

Hi Gracie. We (3 For the Road) were at Waterfront this past Friday. Have a few weeks off before the next time, but I'll post to let everyone know. No, we didn't notice anything in the lobby. Maybe your nose is just sensitive like the rest of you is compassionate! I'll be in "White Christmas" next month, just a couple small parts. We got here after the cast was set, but Sue S. asked us to fill in so we were happy do do it.

Was there a few weeks ago for a club-meeting and noticed that smell as well. They need to do something about it as it's the 1st thing so will affect "first impressions" with folks who attend functions there.

We were there again tonight for a "White Christmas" rehearsal. I walked around the lobby a couple times and noticed nothing. Maybe it was that there were no other people there?

When I was down during the summer, I went to Savannah Center several times and each time noticed a strong mildew odor in the lobby. One day they had fans going in the lobby so I thought perhaps the carpeting was musty due to the humidity or water damage. Brought a friend with me one time to show them the center and as soon as we walked in she asked what the odor was.

Would one of you kind folks be able to tell me where I can find the schedule of events at the "smelly" Savanna Center (leave it to Graciegirl!). We will be renting Jan/Feb and would like to get our tickets early. Thanks!

Nice evening!
I have noticed that smell from the first time I went there a year ago. This old nurse (yes, me ) told my husband that it smelled like a nursing home that is using deodorizers to cover up the strong smells. Love going to the shows, but they need to do something about the smell and the folding chairs in the orchestra seats. What's with that?

We took our son and his wife his to the Savannah Center last weekend and we all noticed the musty odor. It was very strong!

I did email Sam, here is his response;
This is the first I have heard about this and I am surprised as we just installed some additional equipment on the HVAC and the humidity level has been lower than before and the building has positive pressure.



I will revisit and talk with the recreation staff also.
