News : Palace work continues; opening set for Friday night

The ticket counter will have two windows, to allow the sale of seat savers from the same space.

Workers finished the rigging for the digital screen this week.

For the past two weeks the palace has looked like a construction site as the remodeling took place.

The re-designed ticket booth will allow more convenient purchase of tickets and seat savers.

The view from behind the digital screen shows the new rigging that lifts it above the stage.

Work continues at the Palace as construction crews and volunteers finish the remodeling project in time for tomorrow night's reopening.

"It looks great to me," said Palace Manager Marcy Horst.

The painting is finished in the lobby, where the green is a bit lighter, the grey a bit darker. The movie posters have not been put back on the walls yet.

Crews continue work on the bathrooms and ticket counter.

The rigging for lifting the digital screen is in place. The screen is now attached to a metal bracing system that can be raised above the first rows of seat to move the screen out of the way for stage productions. This change was necessary because a digital screen, unlike the previous one, cannot be rolled up.
