A historic venue, reimagined for modern performance. The iconic Avalon Theatre in Easton, Maryland was revitalized with enhanced acoustics, improved sightlines, and upgraded audience comfort—while preserving its original Art Deco charm. From balcony redesign to AV integration, every detail was carefully optimized to elevate both performance and experience. This project highlights how thoughtful acoustic and architectural design can modernize legacy venues while preserving their cultural identity. #WSDG #Acoustics #TheatreDesign #AVIntegration #HistoricVenues #ArtDeco #PerformanceSpaces #Architecture #SoundDesign #VenueUpgrade

Melissa Ferrick has a very specific brand: raw, intelligent, rebellious, emotionally fearless, indie queer-icon energy, and an intimate-but-electrifying live presence. An accomplished guitar virtuoso and powerful singer-songwriter, she’s often described as genre-defying, vulnerable, fierce, and cathartic. After 30+ years and 18 albums she still carries that “I won’t be labeled” spirit. June 4th live in The Avalon Theatre at 7pm!
