Empress Theatre Renovations 2025
We're thrilled to breathe new life into the historic Empress Theatre, blending classic charm with modern comfort. This renovation project focuses on enhancing the guest experience while preserving the theatre’s rich history.
Key improvements include:
Seating & Sightline Enhancements: We’re reupholstering the existing seats, preserving their vintage appeal while improving comfort. New flooring will be added over the original, character-rich floors on the main level, and the seating arrangement will be adjusted to ensure better sightlines for all attendees.
Bathroom Upgrades: The men’s and women’s bathrooms in the basement will be renovated to improve both functionality and the overall guest experience.
These thoughtful updates will ensure that the Empress Theatre continues to offer a welcoming and historic environment for future generations to enjoy.

Welcome to the opening act of our grand renovation! What you see here is the Empress Theatre before the curtain rose on transformation — the stage set with history, charm, and untapped potential.

The curtains rise on the next chapter of our renovation! With the theater seats gone for their costume change (hello, reupholstery!) and the bathrooms getting their backstage glow-up, we’re deep in transformation mode.
And if you look closely… there's a heart in the side arms being stored on the stage —a quiet reminder that this place is filled with passion, purpose, and community.
