I had a chance to look at the Empire theatre in Belleville a couple of days ago. What a beautiful job of restoring an old theatre. Its one of the coziest and most comfortable small theatres I have seen.
Also, the sound and lighting systems are recessed in the ceiling so the audience can focus on the stage. They still show movies occasionally too.
I hope someone will post a photograph of the interior on the theatre’s website.
Belleville is lucky to have such a community-minded owner.
Just found this web site from “Pro AV” talking about all the technical improvements that were done!
