Post Surgery Update
August, 15, 2011
I finally got to take a sneak peak inside the Downtown Community Theatre for the first time. The bulk of the surgery is complete. The painters are making the finishing touches as I toured around the building. The building will officially open on September 10, 2011 if everything goes according to plan.

 |
| The roll-up door will be painted a dark grey to match all the rest of the building's colour scheme. The colour scheme is a combination of black, olive green, and dark grey. |
There is tones of more work to be done on the Downtown Community Theatre before the offical opening on September 10, 2011. Furniture has to be installed in the dressing rooms, offices, etc.
