Podium for the DAR
June 21, 2010 1:39 pm
While we are on the subject of podiums, we thought you might like to see another one we created for the historic Warner Theatre in Torrington, Connecticut. Built in 1931 by the Warner Bros. studio, the theatre was a beautiful tribute to the Art Deco style of the times. After years of falling into disrepair, the theatre was purchased by a group of concerned citizens and has undergone a total renovation over the past years. Restored to its former grandeur, the theatre is now an exciting venue for national acts, local community theatre, and is once again showing movies on the big screen. Troy Brook Visions created the podium to reflect the Art Deco decor of the theatre and donated it to the theatre as a way of giving back to the community of Northwest Connecticut. The podium was made from African ribbon-cut mahogany with tiger maple inlays and the famous marquee was recreated using tiger maple and black walnut. If you get a chance, check out the Warner Theatre and their exciting schedule of upcoming shows!
