Plans are to give the auditorium entrance and lobby a facelift. The project will include setting off the entrance from the hallway with a contrasting dark ceiling and wood slat wall, with holders for event posters in the wall. New doors will be installed. Display cases across the hall will be outfitted with new lighting and a tackable back wall to offer more display options. Inside the auditorium, wood slats will be added next to the stage, walls will be painted, acoustical panels will be installed and carpet and curtains will be replaced. In addition, theatrical rigging and lighting will be upgraded, water damage to the ceiling will be repaired and a screen and projector will be installed.
