Our 2011 Project

We just completed a much-needed auditorium update. The auditorium now features new seating, flooring, drapery, movie screen, paint, and surround speakers. The new staging has been kicked off and will be on site this fall. This has been our most ambitious project yet, and we're grateful for your continued support.

Our 2010 Renovation Project

Our 2010 renovation projects are complete. On your next visit to the Penn, you'll notice the new front doors. In addition to being reminiscent of the originals, they're more energy efficient and actually open and close properly. The work was completed by Daniels Glass of Detroit.

This year the murals on the side of the building went through an incredible transformation. They were brought back to life through the amazing talents of Plymouth artist Janisse Larsson.
