Purpose

Although being regularly redecorated, the
Princes Theatre dressing rooms have not had any serious renovation
in the last 16 years. As well as this, due to being situated below
ground level they have, in the past, flooded resulting in damp and
the associated problems. As such they are tired and in need of
modernisation. Dressing rooms are a very important aspect of the
theatre’s portfolio of assets and well-appointed rooms will
mean a greater uptake of hires, not only professional shows but
also local hires and weddings.
It is proposed that the refurbishment takes into consideration new
technologies ensuring features such as USB outlets for mobile
device charging, show intercom so stage can communicate, stage
video so the cast when not on performing, can keep track of where
they are in the show and other devices and furniture that is now
expected as standard in a professional theatre’s dressing
rooms.
