“The renovations (which started June 25) focus on safety, stabilization and preserving any aspect of the building we can,” said Keswick Theatre general manager Judith Herbst in a recent interview. AEG Live bought the theatre in 2008. THS Conclave chair Mike Hauser remind us we saw the house during the 2009 Conclave/Theatre tour.

I’ll never forget the great tour in 2009 and the enthusiasm of the staff and volunteers. Hooray for the Keswick!
A fabulous house that deserves renovation/updating. Glad to hear they are going in that direction.
