Bailey's Grand Opening

These photos are some candid shots taken at the Bailey's Grand opening event which took place
May 21st, 2011. It is evident that the Bailey's patrons were delighted with the completed restoration. The photo third from the bottom shows the dedication of the MacInnis Auditorium, so named in honor of the parents of Frank MacInnis who is one of the major benefactors of the Bailey theatre and its restoration project.

Finally the floor is getting the final buffing. It has an oil finish which will be easy to maintain and will provide years of service with a couple of buffings a year. Photo by David Roth.

Roof Top Smoke Vents

The long awaited roof top smoke vents over the stage were installed last week. In case of fire, the fire curtain will drop to protect the audience who will be evacuated, and these smoke vents will open to clear the air. Photo by D. Roth.
