🎸 Neighborhood Theatre pulls back the curtain on renovations; What to know if you’re going

The Neighborhood Theatre has been closed for about eight weeks for renovations, but the NoDa live-music venue reopened on Tuesday night with a sold-out Franz Ferdinand show in its main room.
The renovations included:
New sound and lighting systems at both of the venue’s stages, as well as what the venue operator calls “acoustical treatment” throughout the space that provides a more immersive and elevated production experience
Updated restrooms
A new draft beer bar
Renovations to the theater's balcony, with new seating and an updated VIP restroom
“Refreshed” decor and interior finishes
Renovated backstage dressing room and restroom, plus a new second dressing room
“Premium seat availability” and private event bookings
