The 400-seat auditorium traditionally has been used an average of 2,300 hours per year and attracted a total yearly attendance of well over 50,000, but because of its deteriorating condition and outdated technology, its demand and occupancy have started to decline. Renovations for the project, estimated at about $500,000, are slated to include new seating, stage floor, ceiling, stage curtains, and dressing room; the addition of a remote, in-house control station; LED theatrical lighting; state-of-the-art sound system; heating system; new wiring; ADA accessibility improvements; and an electronic security system.
