Fortis worked at the back of the Bailey Theatre recently installing a new pole, no doubt some preventive maintenance as well as greater electrical service. Power will be turned on soon in the Bailey. Note the newly stuccoed wall on the Bailey's back wall at the right of the photo.
Bailey president, Dan Olofson left, and Bailey's architect David Roth, volunteered their time, working over the holidays to bolt down the seats in the Bailey's balcony. Renos are progressing well. Photo by D. Roth.
A great Bailey fund raising party took place New Year's Eve. Two local bands, the BloozHounds, and Klarkwork Orange, donated their time and talents, at the Retro Rock n Roll Extravaganza, entertaining party participants who came dressed in period garb representing periods from grunge and all the way back to the sixties.

Having unloaded the theatre rigging equipment from the semi-trailer, the installation team starts loading the equipment into the Theatre. There are 16 motorized units to be installed plus the fire curtain on the stage. Photo by David Roth.
The new gypcrete floor in the rehearsal hall has been poured and is drying out to get ready for the new sports floor finish. Photo D. Roth
You saw the posting of the underside of the balcony when it was being drywalled a few weeks ago. This photo shows the underside of the balcony with its first finish coat of deep red paint. It looks lighter than it really is because of the camera flash. The walls will soon be repainted to an authentic historic colour scheme. Photo by D. Roth.
These cables will provide power to the dimmers that operate all the stage lighting at The Bailey Theatre. To get a sense of the actual diameter of these cables, make a 3" circle with your thumbs & forefingers and you can better tell the magnitude of the cables. Phone courtesy of D. Roth.
