Company Description:
Theatres hold a special place in the hearts of many people. They are places of magic and invention;
places where anything can – and just might – happen. These old buildings are a bridge between the
past and present, connecting us to the people who occupied them decades ago. And if you do it
right, restoration can inject life and revenue back into the community. With thoughtful upgrades, historic
theatres can compete with today’s newer high-tech performance spaces. Restoration expands technical
capabilities, which in turn, allows you to support programming that meets the expectations of today’s
audiences, thus reinvigorating streams of revenue typically associated with entertainment arts venues. IA
Stage can help you determine the best plan of action to make your space relevant again. Give us a call.
