acoustic plaster,
- cleaning
and restoration of decorative murals and
painting,
- state-of-the-art
sound,
- lights
and rigging systems,
- restored
light fixtures,
- expanded
restroom facilities and concessions.
- A
carved granite sidewalk along the front exterior of the theatre
and a marble mosaic floor will encompass in the center of the
rotunda lobby. Both of these flooring projects were designed
by professional artists.

The
Theatre celebrated a grand re-opening on September 18, 2004. The
theatre is used for live performances, cinema, private parties and
other special events. The Stockton Redevelopment Agency intends
to hold one to two live performance events there per week and will
fill in vacant days with other types of events.
