Underside of Balcony

Workers shown here are placing gyproc on the underside of the balcony. Many Camroseans have fond memories of the balcony and plenty of stories about balcony experiences too. More photos of the balcony coming soon. Photo courtesy of David Roth.

Metal Panels

Some metal panels in the main auditorium have been place by this worker to cover some of the electrical wiring. These original pressed metal panels are very impressive and exude character in the 100 year old Bailey Theatre.

Stairway to Balcony

Seen in this photo are Trevor Harmider and John Rosland drywalling the entrance to the stairway to heaven, oops that is, the stairway to the Bailey Theatre's balcony. There are two stairways which are curved, lending to an elegant climb to the upper level. Photo courtesy of David Roth.

Necessary Items

These 'priceless' transformers located in the mechanical room in the theatre's basement, are very much a necessary part of the Bailey's restoration. They will perform in immeasurable ways for all things electrical. Many thousands of dollars went into these necessary items.

Working In The Lobby

Workers are seen here busily dry-walling the lobby ceiling and walls at the Bailey Theatre. Can't wait to see the proposed round light fixture in that drop ceiling when it is installed.
