Project Background & Overview
About the Project Space
The 4800 square foot space is currently used as a 235-seat theater showing the documentary movie, Monument to the Dream. While the current use of the space is theatrical, options for this project are not limited to that use. In fact, the only limitations are the four walls and ceiling – everything else is up for and open to re-thinking, re-design, re-purposing for an entirely new experience.
