5. There is a Catwalk Around the Central Dome
Hanging above the seats in the St. George Theatre’s main auditorium is a stunning dome that rises seven stories high. Hanging from the dome is the original chandelier, which cranks down, and catwalk is situated around the dome. The catwalk is mainly used for maintenance, like changing lightbulbs around the perimeter of the dome.
Vincent Innocente, Manager of Marketing and Audience Services tells us that the dome was “built primarily for sound. As the sound hits the dome and bounces back down onto the audience. The theater has wonderful natural acoustics.”
