Underside of Balcony Painted

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.

Power Cables - Very Impressive

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.

Bailey Board at Paul Moulton Seminar

The Bailey Theatre Society Board of Directors attended an enlightening seminar with expert consultant Paul Moulton of Edmonton. Paul shared much of his expertise on topics such as theatre operations, fund raising, pledges, and volunteers, to name a few. Paul also provided sample contracts and gave many other helpful tips including janitorial issues, security issues, theatre openings, branding, and suggestions on what to publish in programs to acknowledge sponsors. This was a very full day to say the least. Many thanks to Paul for sharing his knowledge!

Stage Area Progresses

Metal scaffolding has been installed on the stage in order for the painters to sand and paint the drywalled ceiling in the stage area. As well, a metal beam which will hold the fire curtain has been installed just inside the front of the stage. Photo by D. Roth.

Seats Placed In Balcony

Movers were busy on Tuesday uploading chairs with a scissor lift onto the balcony. The seats will be bolted into place soon. The chairs were acquired from the Citadel Theatre, Edmonton, about two years ago when that theatre underwent a 'face lift'. The chairs were stored compliments of the Camrose Canadian for all of this time. Contact us if you would like to purchase a seat or two in this choice location, as there are still a few left.
