Diversionary Theater

The transformation of this celebrated LGBTQ theater included stage reconfiguration for added seating and enhanced visibility, an upgrade to the latest theatrical technology and equipment, and a more prominent and inviting entrance lobby that doubles as a bar and cabaret. The new façade and entry courtyard welcomes the local community as a place of gathering and promotion of self-expression.
