The $22.5 million expansion project needed to be approved by New York’s Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.
The goal of the expansion project was to attract larger touring Broadway-type shows to the 2,700-seat venue by increasing the main stage house to three times the area of what was there.
The stagehouse includes a completely new full-fly stage rigging system compliant with first-run Broadway performances.
The project included major construction to the entire structure, adding a three-bay truck staging area and installing state-of-the-art sound and lighting equipment.
In addition, a completely new 450-seat theatre was added in the adjacent Carl Co. Building
