Sugden Theater on Naples' Fifth Avenue South is the home of a professional quality community theater. The theater has 35 paid staff and 700 volunteers who gave 70,000 volunteer hours last year. They just re-opened after a $22 million renovation.
Cole, the production stage manager, led a tour.
There are multiple performance spaces. I think this is the one dedicated to student performances.
The tension wire ceilings let stagehands move safely above amidst the lighting.
Mike leads the student theater, does set design and also acts.
They make most of the costumes in this shop.
Dana started in the costume shop as an intern four years ago. He worked elsewhere for a while and just began working full-time at the Sugden Theater two weeks ago.
Thank you for the great tour of this theater, Jack. The stage lighting loft is amazing. How fine to have real theater available. This theater reminds me of the Guthrie in Minneapolis.
