".......The improvements mark a dramatic turnaround for the Colonial, whose existence as a theater seemed threatened in the fall of 2015, when it was revealed Emerson was considering a plan to turn the building into a flexible college dining hall/performance space.
Emerson abandoned the plan after months of public outcry, striking the ATG deal in early 2017.
