Theater Plan

The Sterling's three-tiered auditorium - stage, orchestra pit, seating area and two balconies - will be restored, but with modifications to meet today's more stringent codes for patron safety.

The seating arrangement - originally configured to accommodate an audience of 1,250 - will be redesigned to provide added comfort to 800 patrons. New theatrical lighting, stage and projection equipment and curtains set will be installed.
