We took a tour to view the work in progress at the theatre last week. City officials, along with Theatre Board members and contractors, got to see the new lobby area and the new stage and the new balcony. Very exciting to see/hear hammers and saws inside.

I just stopped by the Theatre and they are hard at work. The stage is being expanded. The balcony is being rebuilt. The new manager's office is being built on the 2nd floor. So great to see and hear action going on inside and out!

It has begun! The contractors are on site and are well underway with demo! Take a peek inside the windows of the theatre and our adjacent building to the left. It's really starting to happen. See you in September!

The board of directors just finished a fantastic meeting with our architects. We have the final plans for the theatre. We have prequalified 5 contractors. Next week we will put the project out for bids. Then, by mid August we should have a decision on who will build. By mid September construction will begin! Today we looked at samples of floor tiles, carpet, seats, hardwoods, etc. Very very exciting! It's happening!!!

A fan recently asked about how they can volunteer. Glad you asked! We are in the process of creating a volunteer group that will have its hands in all phases of the project, from throwing parties to helping with fundraisers to ushering at live events. Please stay in touch and we will publish updates as soon as we have them. Thanks for the interest!

HUGE progress update for the Center! We have just hired an architectural firm to begin work on the theatre! They will be working with the board of directors on what we specifically want in the project and, in a few short months, we will have drawings to present to you showing what it will look like and how much it will cost. Then we start swinging hammers! Can't wait!
