Volunteers have been working inside the theatre to reduce the cost of restoration. They have wielded hammers and other tools tearing down plaster and framework. They have taken up old carpeting and floors. They are working with the vision of seeing the restoration becoming a reality. They will also help with the finishing work. The cost of the entire project is one million dollars. So far they have reduced the cost considerably.
