Subfloor Replacement

As it goes when you renovate, you come across finds that you didn’t anticipate.  The rounded edge window from the first floor Kader art gallery was hidden behind the wall and seating risers.
New Subfloor

New Sheetrock Installed

Flooring Finished and Walls Painted

An entirely new subfloor and flooring was installed in the theater.  No more creaky floor!  All cords and wiring are now hidden behind the new sheet rock.  Our sound and light board is portable and can be housed anywhere in the room according the performance needs.
Riser Seating Arrival and Installation

Wall Accents Complete, Lighting Installed

Completed Theater - New Riser Seating with Old Chairs

The new telescopic theater riser seating can easily be retracted with a touch of a button.  This gives the theater flexibility to set up for dance performances or wedding rentals.

The original paneled wood ceiling from 1880 remains, accented by LED cove lighting, dimmable chandeliers, and automatic window shades.

To improve quality of access for guests with hearing aids or cochlear implant our theater is equipped with t-coil hearing loop technology.  With the flip of your hearing aids t-coil switch you can hear speech clearly and without background noise.
