New addition foundation poured in 2020. The new addition will provide a back stage, storage and utility spaces for the commercial kitchen and a loading dock.

Roof work on all four sides of the building replaced hundreds of square feet of failing slate roof, repaired leaking dormers, installed new internal gutters and rebuilt flat roofs over the entrances on Richmond and West Ferry.

A rendering of one of the future first floor dance rehearsal spaces planned in the former church. The mezzanine above will become an open office space adjacent to locker rooms and showers. The first floor space is modular and can easily convert to a small performance/presentation space or black box seating around 100 people.
