Four Weeks To Go

Renovation of Chenery Auditorium continues with a projected finish date of October 10--just four more weeks. This picture shows pipes that have been installed in the third floor technical gallery to hold the main front stage lighting instruments. The doorway into the darkness is the follow spotlight booth, which has been painted black. The floors up here have yet to be painted.The seating floor of the Gallery (third floor) has been painted, and the walls primed. The unpainted cross-aisle will get custom wool carpet.

Here's a view showing the Balcony and Gallery seating areas with new floor paint. Down below is the very unfinished Main Floor. We sure could use some seats.

Again, the unfinished Main Floor. But the orchestra pit was freshly painted black. Notice the newly cut straight edge of the stage front. This makes the pit much more usable.

And here's the view looking out from the stage. Most of the new main floor back walls have been plaster coated, and all the door frames are in. There's more ceiling drywalling and plastering to do, plus all the painting. The seating installation is scheduled to start in the Gallery next week.

We should definitely be ready for the Kalamazoo Symphony on October 25.
