History Of Pewter Plough Playhouse
The Cambria property formerly known as the Pewter Plough Playhouse is for sale. Again.
But entertainment still will be staged at the J. Buckley Theater, according to the man who holds the lease on the restaurant and theater.
The property went on the market May 4. Listing agent Alex De Alba of Cambria said a few days later that some local and out-of-town prospects had already inquired, but no offers had come in yet.
The asking price is $1.195 million for the two parcels of land, the more than 3,500-square-foot building (some of which dates back to 1920) and a small, two-story storage barn in back. It was listed last August for $1.3 million.

Jim Buckley, founder and driving force behind Cambria’s Pewter Plough Playhouse for nearly four decades, died Wednesday afternoon at the age of 102.
Rebecca Buckley announced her husband’s death on her Facebook page: “He slipped away easily, no struggle, no pain.”
She did not state a cause of death, but Buckley had been in declining health in recent months. According to longtime friend and playhouse Treasurer Viv Goff, he had spent about the past three months in hospice care.
“His body just was breaking down in every way,” she said. “His body failed him, but his mind never did.”

Cause of selling The Playhouse
The Pewter Plough Playhouse is still for sale. And the owner is still planning for a 2018 season.
Owner Rebecca Buckley announced in August that she’d put the Cambria playhouse up for sale at an asking price of $1.3 million.
“I just don’t have it in me anymore to run a business,” she said at the time, adding that she “ran out of money” and planned to relocate to her native Oxnard.
The announcement came shortly after Buckley, 77, said she was canceling the vast majority of musical programs at the Plough, effective immediately.
