Body
BACKGROUND: During the Fiscal Year Ending 2018 budget process, City Council approved a project for seat replacement and other interior renovations for the Sooner Theatre. Last year we completed a project to replace all 535 seats in the space and also replace the audio system in the auditorium, which has greatly enhanced the experience for the patrons. Also, several different rounds of improvements have been done over the past decades to improve the theatre’s mechanical systems, offices, sweet shop, carpet, stage curtains, roof, sign, box office, fixtures, and finishes. The improvements to the dressing room space below the stage were completed for a much needed upgrade for the performer’s experience while working in the theatre.

A partial payment was made on October 15, 2018 in the amount of $61,766.15.
On October 15, 2018, City of Norman Parks and Recreation Staff inspected the new improvements of the dressing room and found everything to be complete per specifications.
