Key improvements incorporated in the new design for the theatre include a 140-seat auditorium, up from the existing 105 seats; an integrated rehearsal space; a spacious foyer and bar that will also be used as a multipurpose performance space; a lift that will make the theatre wheelchair-accessible for the first time in its history; additional capacity for storage, lighting and other technology for the production of plays; improved sightlines from the audience seats to the stage; and larger areas for food and beverage service.
