This magnificent theater was lovingly restored to its current grandeur in
1995 and 1996. Ida Cole purchased the building in 1993 with the express purpose of
restoring the historic finishes in the public areas of the building, while modernizing
the theatrešs production and backstage areas. The stage and fly tower were expanded,
new dressing rooms were added and completely new, state-of-the-art rigging, sound &
lighting systems were installed.
Maria Barrientos served as the Project Manager while she was a partner at Lorig
Associates. Maria coordinated the design, renovation and construction of this stunning
theatre. She was also responsible for negotiating the leases & contracts, managing the
tax credits, obtaining financing, and controlling the overall development budget.
