Front of House Update, April 30, 2011

A glimpse into the Front of house on April 20, 2011. Drywall is installed on the upper level. I was hoping the upper level was going to be open.

An inner wall was installed in the entry way to the house to reduce light during the show. Another wall is installed to cover up the duct work.

Duct work is installed in the ceiling of the Front of House. Eventually a drop ceiling will be installed.
