Dressing Room 2 Refurbishment
Due to the coronavirus situation last year, the Maintenance Team took the opportunity to add, as requested four new seating positions to give more scope when performers use this area. To this end we sourced the materials and set to. We wanted to give a clean modern look with wires hidden, safer lighting and a lighter and brighter feel. This was completed fairly quickly and the Theatre gave the go ahead to continue, while the time was available, to upgrade the existing facilities.

‘We lined the wall out to “lose” the pillar and gave the same finish as the newly added four, and fitted a new sink with splash back to add a finishing touch.
‘Dressing room 2 having previously had four seating spaces, this has now been increased to nine. The new facilities were used for a short while during the rehearsals and performances of the Christmas Pantomime, but sadly, not for long before the plug was pulled, and the Theatre had to fall dark again.’
