The Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville renovates its backstage.
 
Terri Trotter, President and CEO of the Walton Arts Center, says after the 17th season the theater needed the upgrades.
 
“The equipment was state of the art 15 years ago and it’s not so much anymore. So we kind of hit that natural time when we need to start doing these things,” says Trotter.

A new stage, spotlights, and light board, were just some of the renovations. They also added monitors to the lobby and to the balcony so people can see what’s happening on the stage. The new concession also lets people use credit or debit cards.
 
A new telephone system, air conditioning units, and electrical outlet renovations have been ongoing for the last year and are expected to be finished in the next month.

Equipment and repairs totaled over $300, 000 and was primarily paid for by dedicating the Center’s capital budgets for the fiscal year 2008 and 2009 to these renovations and upgrades.
