GUILD REMODELS THEATER
The most radical changes to a theater on the Treasure Coast
come from the Vero Beach Theatre Guild where a massive
remodeling to adjust to the pandemic and adapt to current
needs is almost complete. The project began in March with
a plan to enlarge the lobby and do some work in the offices.
But it wasn’t long before “the project kind of grew because of
COVID-19,” said theater board president Lisa McNamee.
The theater had 300 seats. The project removed 120 and put
back 180 after removing the old carpeting and refurbishing
all the floors. The seats were reinstalled with much wider
spaces between the rows and more space between seats to
allow for social distancing. The extra chairs were taken apart
and stored. For now, seating is limited to 50 percent or less
capacity. Glass shields were installed at the box office, along
with a Plexiglas divider between the box office windows. The
lobby, doubled in size, allows guests room for social distancing.

complete list of all the changes and safety precautions.
“COVID-19 drove the remodeling and added months to the
project,” McNamee said.
