I have seen the behind the scenes at this theatre extesnivly. I worked for a stage lighting compnay that installed some rigging and lighting to the current owners. The main auditorium plaster has been gutted, with the super structure supporting a drop ceiling type system. The stage house grid is still intact upstage of the proceienum, and many of the grid blocks are still there. The stage proper houses dressing rooms, with the “t” stage being Downstage of the proscenium. The balcony concrete is still intact and house the private DVD viewing rooms, in fact there are many of the older chairs are stored where the lighting and audio controls are. Some of the proscenium work and plaster is still there and it has a goofy way of terminting the orginal arch at the drop ceiling: the aluminum is just cut to fit around with the orginal arch being able to be seen when we were walking the high steel…
Cheers!
