The Rose

100 Years of Theater
and Transformations

After changing uses and sitting vacant for over a decade, APMA was enlisted to facilitate the grand building’s restoration in 1991. Renovation work included the repair of decorative plaster; construction of new classrooms and administrative support spaces; and bringing the facility up to current building codes, including handicap accessibility and the replacement of 65-year-old mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and stage-rigging systems.
