Upgrades include modern sound and lighting, comfy new seats, original 1930s art, and serious accessibility improvements like ramps and a flattened lobby. They’re also finally finishing “JP’s Peace, Love, and Happiness Lounge,” a century-old space long used as storage. During the 11-month closure, events will shift to the State Theatre, UT’s Hogg Auditorium, and Austin ISD’s Performing Arts Center — including big festivals like SXSW and Moontower. And hey, they’ve already uncovered theater treasures under the floorboards — and expect more secrets — maybe even some ghosts — to emerge as they dig deeper.
