Renovating the historic Astra theater in downtown Jasper, we worked with the nonprofit group, The Next Act to bring back the 357 seat theater that had been closed for over a decade.
The renovation replaced all major infrastructure (electric to and throughout the building, plumbing, HVAC units and ductwork) while also allowing for the installation of a new accessible restroom on the first floor, an expanded stage, new seating throughout, new sound and lights, a new men’s restroom, a renovated women’s restroom, a new concessions area, new doors, a refurbished marquee, refurbished windows, and other minor upgrades. With a tight deadline of a scheduled opening date, we worked diligently with the subcontractors to open the venue back upon its anniversary date, April 14, 2018.
