‘Let’s put on a show’ — coming soon
Construction crews will work through the weekend and into next as they put the finishing touches on several Anacortes High School project elements including Brodniak Theatre. The theatre, located adjacent to Williams Gym, opened in 1976. This renovation is the most dramatic of several updates since then, with elements including new lobby, sound, lights, curtains, flooring and seating. Audience seating is now configured in three sections instead of four, with added space between rows (leg room). There is also improved handicap access including auditorium spaces for wheelchairs and wheelchair access to the stage. Net capacity is 713 occupants, a reduction from the previous seating capacity of 806. Students will have limited access to the stage and associated spaces early next week, just in time for tryouts for the spring musical.
