 Engle Lane's Grand Re-Opening! Saturday, April 30, 2011  With the help of Nick McFadden, Kathy Missel cuts the ribbon at the entrance to the new auditorium!  The Board of Directors was introduced. 
 Special Guests included Streator's mayor, Jimmie Lansford, and Superintendent Jaerod Barta of Vissering Construction.  The Cast of "Pop!" was introduced     The entertainment began! The delightful evening ended with desserts and tours.  The dressing rooms were reconstructed with wider doorways, carpet, and paint.  The noisy A/C unit, the bathroom, and the small props room were removed from the rehearsal hall making the space ginormous! 
 New stairs to the dance hall! A brand new ropes system has been installed! 
Backstage! (check out the beautiful floor)  Looking out into the auditorium with new paint colors, better sound, and brighter lights! 
Board member Greg Tullis says, "You have to see it to believe it!" So come on out this season to the improved Schiffbauer Art Center!  Some before and after pictures   This is a picture looking down the backstage hallway looking toward the back door. The tornado, debris, and water ruined the drywall and the carpeting. We have widened the entrances to the backstage. Plus, we have added a second door to the back. People can now go to rehearsals upstairs without disrupting a rehearsal on stage! Now when you walk in the back door, there are stairs on your right that will take you to the higher levels of the theater!   Both these photos were taken from the loft area. The one on the left shows a picture of the damaged stage. Notice the chicken wire on the lower left side. This used to be the "wall" that divided the electrical room to a megadrop onto the stage floor. Also notice how low the procenium goes down (the front wall of the stage OR the silver section). With the reconstruction the electrical room has been moved to a backstage area (makes sense). The chicken wire has been removed, and an awesome new small props room has taken up that space. Furthermore, the procenium wall was raised several feet. Prepare to be amazed at the changes occuring at this small town theater.
