Regarding the Moore Theatre's 100th Birthday
The historic Moore Theatre turns 100 this year. December 28th is their big centennial celebration. We got to thinking about this major milestone the last time we were there.
It was last Monday night, the Iron and Wine show. We were sitting in our seats, waiting for razor-shy Sam Beam to take the stage and we got to looking around. As always we were impressed by the high ceiling, grand arches, intricate moldings... Then we realized, the place kind of looks like crap.
Specifically the walls. More specifically, the drab paint that is peeling all over the place.
Aware of the upcoming celebration, we wondered whether there were plans in the works to give the place a face-lift, so we shot off a quick email to Amanda Bedell, Public Relations Manager for the Seattle Theatre Group.
Last time I was at the Moore (Monday night's Iron and Wine show), I noticed paint peeling on the walls and ceiling.
Are any restoration plans (or at least fresh paint) in the works for this important occasion?
Bedell's reply:
The owners of The Moore Theatre and Seattle Theatre Group (operators) are persuing shared vision for the future of this historic Seattle performance venue. We hope to share this vision with the public in the near future. Thank you very much for your interest, and please let us know if you would care to be involved in further supporting The Moore. Right. So are you painting it or what?
