In
the early 1960's Audrey Leibold and her family moved to Hanford. They liked
the schools, people and area in general, but Audrey soon realized that the community
did not have a theatre. She quickly set forth to fix that little problem. By
running ads in the local papers she found others who shared her dream. In 1963
the Kings Players was born. At first they performed in the auditorium at Hanford
High. Audrey knew they needed to find a permenant home. In early 1964, she found
the Chinese Center for Knowledge, a Chinese school that had been closed since
the late 40's. The Kings Players had found a home, and have been in the Temple
Theatre ever since.
