However it has fallen on hard times in modern times, seats have been removed from the main area and turned into a basketball court, dressing rooms converted into ( now abandoned ) offices, storage places for different items, including some mannequins.<\/p>\n<p>My friend <a href=\"http:\/\/rothphotos.blogspot.com\/\">Ted Roth<\/a> and myself spent quite a bit of time moving these mannequins around to different parts of the theater.<\/p>\n<p>Hope you enjoy the arrangements.<\/p>\n<!-- default-view.php -->\n<div\n\tclass=\"ngg-galleryoverview default-view
