My first impression of the space was how well the new was mixed with the old. For example the architecture of the building, in particular the wooden beamed supports (which dates back to 1980), used the same techniques to strengthen the structure as the new lighting rig. The same triangle support system that holds up the roof, holds up the lighting rig creating an interesting montage of shapes.
Also the “room upstairs” was half conference room half stage made me consider what performances took place in the building long before it was a theatre.
