Inside the 600-seat theater, everything — from the hue of the hand railings to the rigging of the curtains — was reconceived. A custom Dolby Atmos sound system required the installation of more than 70 Meyer speakers. On the newly installed, 50-foot screen, colors crackle while whites and blacks appear far more consistent than at your neighborhood multiplex.

The DGA, which would not reveal the cost of the six-month renovation other than to say it was “a significant capital investment,” hired design experts at Gensler and specialists from Dolby to aid in the project.
