Once again I was able to wander through the Colonial Theater documenting the work in stages as it's being completed.
Her beauty commands the stage and welcomes back those former glory days. It has been an amazing process to watch this transformation. Chatting with the workers, hearing stories of their visits here when they were young... such a vital part of our community.
To think back when the intricate hand-painting work was being done from the top of the ceiling
and then on down the walls.
Walking through the hallways it's already difficult to think back and see the battered and bruised sheetrock that was left in her decline.
Now proudly she shows her new coats of paint with details that bring interest and sparkle as you enter.
Still with much work to be done - you can start to see the "end of the tunnel"
...and I can confidently say that I will be one of many who will enjoy sitting in a seat on opening night!
Yes, she's taking shape - and wearing it with pride!
enjoy,
k
