Spellman says after the finalist is selected, they will work with the architect for the Blue Barn Theatre.

"To make sure there is the connection and working on the contract arrangements to make sure they are ready for the space to be designed appropriately so that it really fits the two projects together.  And then when the Blue Barn is completed, then they will begin the actual implementation of the winner’s design.”
