LINCOLN THEATRE

Marion, VA

FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT, OUTLINE BUSINESS PLAN

AND ARCHITECTURAL PLAN

Janis Barlow and Killis Almond, FAIA were retained by the Lincoln Theatre in Marion, Virginia to determine whether the purchase of an adjacent property to the theatre was an appropriate direction for the theatre's development. Given the escalating cost of the property and its condition, it was determined that purchase at the present time was not ideal.

Designs were subsequently developed to transform the former historic vaudeville and film house into a film and performing arts center. Mr. Almond’s design included stadium seating to generate maximum intimacy in an unusually high-ceilinged auditorium, and effective use of limited front-of-house space.

A review and amendments to the theatre’s five-year old Business Plan were provided, and the first phase of renovations is currently underway.
