Peeling back the years!

Using paint stripper, white spirit and scalpels we set about removing the layers of paint to discover past colour schemes and silver and gold gilding.

Bleacher Style Seating

Looking at the dimensions and space requirement on this site of bleacher seating it seems that even if we do find a way to level part of the floor in the auditorium bleachers would provide a minimal capacity.

Demountable Theatre Seating

This system requires no floor attachments as such could be laid out for different stage types. The chairs are light enough to be handled by one person and can also come in a fixed version suitable for the balcony in the APH. This is a flat floor system so the main auditorium would need terracing.
