Plans for a £738,000 redevelopment of Theatr Colwyn in Colwyn Bay are being presented to the public.
Work will be carried out on the 125-year-old venue over the winter months. Money will be spent moving the bar and creating a new box office, office space and community room. There will also be disabled access to all floors.
"I am delighted that finally we can look forward to the first stage of refurbishment of the theatre," said Coun Alice Robinson, the chair of Theatr Colwyn's joint management committee. As well as providing better access for people with disabilities, the changes will include a new booking office, toilets and an open cafe/bar on the ground floor. The theatre will be closed whilst the work is being carried out, and is due to reopen in the spring of 2011.
Ms Ecob (General Manager) will be giving a presentation on the plans for members of the public at 1430 and 1930 on Friday, 8 October.
