We have been documenting every step of our ongoing Walter Reade Theater renovation project. The overdue upgrades arrive in anticipation of the theater’s 25th anniversary this December, and includes lighting, sound, and electrical repairs and replacements for the screen and masking. These efforts are a major investment in the future of the Walter Reade, to help maintain the theater as a premier film venue for New Yorkers.
The theater will reopen September 8, and will be used as a venue for the 54th New York Film Festival this fall. Until then, slide through photos that show the amount of work being put into the project. Stay tuned by subscribing to our weekly newsletter.
