This complex project consisted of renovations to the building entry, lobby, and theater interior to provide a state-of-the-art theatrical experience. The expanded lobby area boasts a unique pleated wall with hidden lighting and a wet bar featuring backlit translucent resin panels. Petra’s in-house millshop fabricated much of the wall system, the bar, and lobby cabinetry. Main Stage renovations consisted of new seating tiers and a new stage lighting system with control and dimmer panels. Work also included improved handicap access, a new HVAC system, all new lighting and updated electrical throughout the building, and upgrades to the audio-visual system.
