Duluth officials are opening the curtain on a proposal to renovate the city’s century-old theater.
The Duluth Economic Development Authority has put out a request for preliminary architectural services for the NorShor Theatre, which the city hopes to use as a performing arts venue.
Last June, the DEDA purchased the one-time strip club, along with the connected Temple Opera building and NorShor Annex, for $2.6 million. The building is located at 211 E. Superior St. in the city’s “Old Downtown.”
The idea is to make the theater a “focal point” for arts and entertainment in the downtown waterfront district. But first, the theater needs some “TLC and some improvements to access,” according to Brian Hanson, executive director of the DEDA. Planned updates include sound and lighting improvements.
