The Ready Theater is now undergoing renovation/restoration. All the dividing walls which made it a four room movie theater have been removed, and the art deco detail is being repainted. The owner (still Carol Moore) intends to re-open it as a multiple use theater, featuring live performances when possible, and showing movies on a retractable 40 foot screen when no live acts are scheduled. The theater itself is largely being restored, but the lobby is being expanded into the back of the original seating area. Four-hundred fifty seats have been purchaced for the ground floor, and the owner intends to put a greater number in the balcony, bringing the total seating to close to one thousand seats. New marble bathrooms are planned, as well as a cafe. The theater has a 27' x 6' orchestra pit, which will seat about 18 musicians.
