Palace Theatre closing its gates for some self-care

Beginning now, the gates of the Palace Theatre will be closing for six months while it takes a little “me” time.

As part of an ongoing $6.5 million renovation, the six-month main-hall makeover will include:

Repair of damaged plaster
New paint in a new color scheme
All-new seats on the first floor
Fully refurbished seats in the balcony

The last time the Palace’s paint job was given some TLC was in 1984. As such, it will be updated in a way that pays homage to the theatre’s rich history and gives the aesthetic a breath of fresh air.

Though it will reduce the capacity from 2,837 to 2,691, updates to the seating in both the balcony and first floor will allow for more a more contemporary and comfortable viewing experience.

These renovations will compliment the 2017 updates which included the installation of a high-efficiency heating system and a new roof.

Moving forward, the Palace Theatre is slated for additional renovations to the mezzanine-level lobby spaces and replacement of the front entry doors.

According to a release, CAPA is currently fundraising to secure the remaining capital needed to fund this stage of the facelift.
