Theatres
Shea Theatre
Renovations were recently completed on the Shea theatre. There is a large, open lobby
that will very comfortably accommodate a capacity audience. The house seats 427 in
comfortable, high back seats in a stadium, continental arrangement. Sight lines for
all seats are exceptionally good. Acoustics in the house are generally very good.
The stage is an 80-foot open platform. Part of the renovation was installation of
a new counterweight stage rigging system. Three levels of newly constructed dressing
room have easy access to the stage.
The lighting and sound are modern computer controlled systems.
