The Palace Theatre rehab is part of an ongoing $6.5 million capital campaign to fund a full renovation of the Palace Theatre which would include the following renovations needed in the lobby:
- replacement of the front entry doors
- enhanced security, and repair
- remodeling of the mezzanine-level men’s restrooms and concessions area.
“We are thrilled to reveal the stunning transformation of the Palace Theatre’s magnificent auditorium and know that Columbus audiences will agree she once again portrays the royal splendor after which she was designed and named,” stated CAPA President and CEO Chad Whittington. “It’s important to realize that the work is not yet done at the Palace, and CAPA is working diligently to complete the capital campaign to fund the remaining repairs and renovations needed in the lobby.
