For decades, Eastman Theatre has served as the community's preeminent performance venue, a magnificent treasure for Rochester, and a hub for cultural life year round. More than 300,000 members of the Rochester community pass through its doors each year.
Eastman Theatre is undergoing a remarkable renovation that will transform the classic structure into a world-class music hall by 2009. Renovations and improvements during the summer of 2008 and 2009 will create an environment that better meets the needs and expectations of discerning audiences. Acoustics will improve dramatically. Other improvements in this phase of the construction include a state-of-the-art sound system, an expanded orchestra level lobby with a new concessions area, improved house lighting, and upgraded heating, ventilation, and cooling systems.
