Say good-bye to construction.

The renovations are finally over. Maybe not for Mission Boulevard, but they are for the Teves Theater.
The theater project has been under construction throughout the past summer. The workers kept busy with renovating the stage, switching out the outdated curtains and carpeting, and, best of all, replacing those old, creaky chairs with new comfy ones.
The new theater will benefit many at Moreau.
“I don’t think that it’s just one part of the renovation that will best benefit the drama department but everything together will work to help all visual arts programs!” said senior Dani Issa.
Many theatre students would agree that the best part of the renovation is the new stage.
“The lip of the stage got removed! So now people can actually see us if we lay down on the floor or something in a show! Usually that was a pretty tricky thing to do in the past shows like ‘Once on this Island’,” said Issa.
So far the only con to this project is that the new theatre soaks up a lot of sound, which could potentially cause a problem for the fall play since they usually don’t use mics.
The new theatre also benefits the audience!
Students and audience members constantly complained about the persistent squeaking of the old chairs and are glad that they have been replaced.
“I will not miss those seats at all; the constant creaking sound kept ruining my theatre experience.” said senior Kevin Jay.
The audience is finally able to concentrate on the plays they are watching without the distraction of those old seats.
