"Sequoia Theater: Reimagining Our Community Treasure"

The Sequoia Theater renovation proposes preserving the theater’s unique exterior elements while transforming it into a vibrant, state-of-the-art film arts and education center and community gathering place. The centerpiece of the project is the conversion of the existing two-screen, 604-seat theater into a new cinematic arts center with up to four separate screening rooms totaling up to 500 seats, while retaining the historic façade, expanding the lobby, and incorporating a rooftop pavilion. When finished, the theater will be a regional hub for the arts, with film screenings headlining an expansive menu of activities.
