The renovation of this 100 year-old performing arts theater returned the Theatre to its original, turn-of-the-century luster while at the same time, providing a more comfortable venue for its guests. The Theatre's ornate plaster and beaux arts finishes were restored to their former grandeur of 1903, and the previously closed second balcony was re-opened to allow for substantially more seating capacity. Original seating was restored and improved accessible seating and services were provided. Carpet was installed throughout and the Theatre received a new elevator, a new lounge serving the upper balconies and new restrooms. The scope also included upgrading the electrical and mechanical systems, installing all new safety and security systems, enhancing the Theatre's rigging system for easier control of the stage equipment, and improving the sound, video, communications and theatrical dimming systems. The work covered 26,000 s.f. and now houses a 21st century theater in a 19th century landmark.
