One of the major highlights of this project is new and uniform seats, but there is more to consider than just comfort. This is a restoration after all, so the seats need to be historically accurate as well. The trouble is, we don’t have photos of the seats from 1923. So we relied on what was likely selected in the 1920s and what is consistent with the theater’s Neoclassical style. This led to reference material to help select everything from the shape of the chair (back of the seat, armrests, end panels) to details like wood backs, seat bottoms, and fabrics. The end result is one that incorporates the comfort of today yet is true to the time period. We look forward to unveiling the new seats soon!
