Marin Showcase Theatre Seating Replacement and Other Upgrades

This is a completed project. You are in the Archived Projects section of the website. Active projects can be found on the Projects webpage.

Description

Overview

Due to the age and condition of the Marin Showcase Theater seating and surrounding area, it was determined that seating replacement, restoration of the theatre space and other upgrades/updates were needed to provide improved usability, functionality and enjoyment of the public facility.

Funding

Cultural Services funds were used for the implementation of this project and the cost was $866,000. Funding for the project was made possible by Cultural Services being awarded a grant through the Shuttered Venues Operators Grant (SVOG) program from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) that reimbursed the County’s General Fund for certain salaries and benefits expenditures from March 2020 through June 2022 because of lost operating revenue during the COVID-19 pandemic. The SVOG program’s mission was to support the ongoing operations of eligible live venues and operators during the uncertain economic conditions caused by the pandemic. The department incurred costs and submitted allowable General Fund expenditures to the SBA to qualify for the reimbursement, and the Board of Supervisors allocated the reimbursement to the General Fund for strategic infrastructure projects, including the Showcase Theater.

Public impacts

The venue was closed to the public during the three month project.
