A “secret dance floor” will make its debut in The Park Theatre’sEppes Auditorium during the Chris Fitz Band dance concert Saturday, March 19, at 7:30 p.m., the final event of the Shamrock Festival in Jaffrey.
The seating system, designed by Irwin Seating of Grand Rapids, Mich., allows the entire lower mezzanine section of 161 seats and aisles to retract against the upper mezzanine seats, creating a flat floor measuring about 40 feet by 40 feet. The floor space can be further enlarged by the removal of the 58 orchestra seats.
The bar will be open before and during the concert. Identification is required. Bernie and Louise Watson will be performing in the lounge from 5 to 7 p.m. before the concert. Tickets for the Chris Fitz Band concert are $20 and can be bought online at theparktheatre.org, by calling 603-532-8888 or at the box office.
The Park Theatre is at 19 Main St. in Jaffrey.
