The Allendale renovation combined sensitivity to historic preservation, a challenging interior design, a unique collaboration between the disciplines of architecture and theatre, and an opportunity to promote neighborhood revitalization. Historic elements such as the interior decorative pilasters, plaster moldings, domed ceiling and the exterior neoclassic faade have been repaired and restored. The theatre is equipped with a proscenium stage, fly and wing space, a sound and lighting system, dressing rooms, rehearsal space, and seating for 469 people. The intention of the renovation was to honor the buildings past while assuring its usefulness in the future.
