Basement Improvements: Conducting mold abatement to ensure a safe environment.
Phase 1 of the project, started in October 2023 and completed in January 2024, included significant structural and roof repairs, with insulation added to the roof for the first time in the building's history. These upgrades addressed critical safety and operational issues, ensuring the theatre can continue to serve the community effectively.
Impact and Outcomes:
