The Oldham Theatre will be getting another renovation in late summer 2009. New seats and curtains. The downtown area of Winchester is undergoing a major renovation and the Oldham will be following suit.
Also, the history mentioned above is not correct. The Ravoli Theatre was actually located on the South side of the square and the Oldham was built to replace it on the North side of the square. It is interesting to know that construction took much longer than expected because Mr. Oldham thought that the contractors were charging too much for the brick. Construction stopped until the brick prices came down. Owners have the orginal letters documenting the construction process/
