Follow the progress of 213 Fayetteville Street's main theatre.
Support bars in the accessible bathrooms:
Lots of action on the ground floor this week. From paint work calls to exposing the brick wall, the space is continuing to evolve. Both the plumbing and HVAC systems passed inspection this week, with final inspection (hopefully, followed by a Certificate of Occupancy) coming up soon.
More exciting developments at 213 Fayetteville – and a couple of random discoveries as well! Stay Tuned….
The crew has been working at lightning speed the past week, with the space transforming dramatically after each day’s work. Last week saw the arrival of plumbing fixtures, including toilets, sinks, and water fountains:
Basic lighting for the theatre space has been installed:
Also note the addition of heating/ventilation pipes, as well. Things are moving quickly!
The next big step is painting. The ceiling will be painted first. Crew member Jeremy covers the lighting fixtures in preparation:
Once the ceiling is dry, we’ll paint the walls – and we’ll be that much closer to completion!
Insulating the floor in the main space took a bunch of extra hands:
REP’s Managing Director, Gary Williams, works diligently.
Ensemble member Jason Sharp lays it out and cuts it up.
The crew works well into the late evening…..
……And 24 hours later…..
INSULATED FLOOR COMPLETE.
NEXT UP: Electrical, Plumbing, and Mechanical Installations!
After 7 days worth of work, the space has transformed dramatically. At the end of last week, the crew began preparing the space to be insulated.
Drywall mud comes next:
Some ensemble members have come to lend a hand as well:
REP Board President and ensemble member Betsy Henderson prepares the performance floor for the installation of insulation by vacuuming underneath the foundation.
New ensemble member Jason Sharp waits with baited breath to insulate the floor.

Construction on the ground floor of 213 Fayetteville Street resumed this past Wednesday, January 26th.
Due in large part to the $60,000 appropriation received from Raleigh’s City Council and a $25,000 grant from the Tony Randall Theatrical Fund, construction has resumed on Raleigh Ensemble Players’s main theatre. We’ll be tracking the progress week-by-week on this blog, so check back here often for updates and images of the work.
