THEATER RENOVATION PLANS


    Our Donors     Our goals     The kids who will benefit

Dear Friend of East High School,

East is embarking on a Theater Renovation Project. Its time for those old orange plastic seats to go! There are safety issues with the accoustical shells and the fly system. The plan includes much needed updates to the stage floor, sound and lighting system and a complete renovation of the embarassing guest dressing rooms. See cost estimates below.
This is a financially ambitious project. At the very least the safety issues must be addressed. We are seeking donations to help fund the project. With your generous contributions this project will succeed (see the status of our fund drive). A big THANK-YOU to all our donors - and thanks TO YOU in advance for your help.
 

The Stage Floor
The Stage Floor has
deep gouges and
scratch marks.

The Costume Shop
The Costume Shop
is a metal bar
hanging in a dark
basement corner.

The dressing rooms

The dressing rooms
are poorly lit, have no
storage space and no
privacy. The seating is
leftover audience seats.

The dressing rooms
The dressing room/Make-up Mirror

The hinged arm desk

adult bodies. Handicapped
accessibility is an issue.
