Lizzy Mott, Operations Assistant, is working diligently in our Alice Busch Opera Theater to make the seat cushions prettier for our audience members’ cushions.
Lizzy is going through the theater and re-stretching the fabric on each theater seat to improve its appearance. So far she’s done about 40. The theater seats around 900….
First, each chair has to be taken apart.
She prepares several seat backs at a time.
She takes them on stage to her "workshop."
She takes each seat back apart...
...and uses spray adhesive to re-attach the fabric.

I’m so glad the seats are receiving some love! The house will look even more beautiful when they’re finished.
