🎸 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
