Powell Hall’s stage floor has seen countless performances, premieres, and musicians. But the wood floor, which has been carefully maintained and sanded over many years, has reached the end of its useful life and can no longer be refinished. 

Crews recently removed the wood flooring and sub floor in preparation for replacement. Once complete, the stage floor will be stained white oak as before, maintaining the same aesthetic, sound qualities, and appearance as it had for more than 55 years.
