Griffin’s million-dollar dream

One of the nation’s most respected theatres is set for a major upgrade with the call going out to supporters in an attempt to raise some $1 million for an overhaul.

The renovation will involve restoring the brick walls of the theatre and re-designing the bar, box office and bathroom facilities in the foyer.

The seating will also be re-configured to cater for the comfort of patrons, whilst the theatre’s much-maligned dressing rooms would be overhauled.

The work will take place over three years and is set to be completed in 2012.

Donations are now being called for – no matter how big or how small.
