We are pleased to announce that Winstanley Architects has been hired to complete the final phase of the design of the new theatre. The exciting design by Lessard Design and Skip Maginniss will now be completed and prepared for permitting and construction by Michael Winstanley and Leejung Hong.
Further enhancements, amenities, and exciting design elements are being added so the new theatre will truly be a showplace as the Arts Anchor and the central feature of the Arts and Cultural District in Old Town North.
Fundraising continues while the design is being completed. We welcome checks large and small and appreciate the enthusiasm and support of our many hundreds of contributors. Everyone can help us complete this final phase, build out the interior of the theatre, and open in the fall of 2026. We are happy to offer tours and more information.
