The Kingston and St Andrew Municipal Corporation is maintaining that the orchestra pit at the under-renovation Ward Theatre has not been removed and will remain a feature of the 107-year old building. The issue was raised by some members of the performing arts community during a tour of the building on Wednesday. The municipal corporation, in a statement today, insisted that the core character of the building has remained unaltered. The mayor explained that the fencing and much of the woodwork in the seating area were removed due to a termite infestation that the theatre has been battling with for some time. Persons on the tour not only saw that the orchestra pit was still very much present, but some also walked down into it and took pictures. Visit the link in @jamaicagleaner Stories to read more.
