The Warner Grand Theater has officially started its seat restoration! Last week, the theater’s 1,500 seats were removed and will be re-cushioned, reupholstered and refinished.

Warner Grand Theater with removed seatsThis was made possible thanks to Grand Vision’s Save Your Seat campaign, which has raised funds over the last two years by allowing members of the community to “adopt” seats in the 75-year-old art-deco theater.

Between now and October, the stage rigging and sound systems will also be updated.
