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.
