Auditorium Floor Renewal

The auditorium has been given some serious attention these days. The old damaged 100 year old fir flooring has been torn out, leveled, and replaced with T&G plywood which has been screwed and glued in place in preparation for new flooring. The replacing floor will be 1 x 4 T & G fir flooring in keeping with the theme of days gone by. Watch for updates of the auditorium. Photo courtesy of David Roth.

Back End Gets Attention

The back of the Bailey Theatre has received its first layer of stucco, shown in this photos. More attention is being given to the outside of the building, as insulation is applied all around in preparation for more stuccoing. (Recycle bins will eventually replace the port-a-potty.)

Volunteers Busy

Volunteers were busy at The Bailey onLabour Day weekend. The balcony was scrubbed on Saturday, primed on Sunday, and painted on Monday. Pictured in the top left photo are Dan Olofson, (at 12 o'clock) Ross Shuman (standing), Sheila Viegas, (kneeling) and Carole-May Coty. Bottom photo shows the completed paint job preparing the way for the seats to be installed. Photos taken by David Roth who also scrubbed and painted each of the days.

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.

Visitors From Kamifurano, Japan

The Town of Kamifurano and The City of Camrose celebrated 25 years of partnership in Camrose on Wednesday, August 5th. The 32 Japanese delegates were given a tour of The Bailey Theatre as one of the many highlights for the visitors. Photo courtesy of David Roth.
