We found that part of the staircase is actually made of marble, there is all kinds of decorative work in the ceiling of tin work that when its painted right it will be beautiful and stunning,” Muir said.However, the theatre still faces problems which include roof repair, water damage, and electrical issues which are priorities to get fixed.Muir said that the renovations wouldn’t have been possible, if it weren’t for donations from the community.“A lot of people have donated time and labor. We’ve had businesses come in, for example scrapping glue off the old tile we’ve found or doing demolition projects, just out of the goodness of their hearts,” Muir said.The Burley Theatre is still looking for donations from the public. By sponsoring a seat, you can commemorate a friend, family member, organization, or special occasion. A naming plate with your chosen message, name, or logo will be placed on the top of the seat back as special recognition for your gift. The foundation’s goal is to have the theatre open by the summer of 2026 and to be able to host 375 people for various performances.</div></body>
