In reply to Nix12 (4/12/2007), the lobby of the original theatre extended east to Washington Street, hence the prior name of the theatre, and was a long narrow struture called “the neck.” When the building to the east was demolished (mid 60’s?) so was the original lobby. When the community theatre group Stagecrafters restored the building, a new lobby was created.
