Castle Dragon Theater: First we build, carve and stain, then assemble the structure in our shop to make sure everything fits perfectly. Next we disassemble, pack and deliver all the modular pieces to site. Then the guys install, carefully laying the floors first, assembling the walls second, adding the bridges, trims, swings, etc. and as a final step, applying a 2nd protective coat of clear tung-oil. We have a great crew!
Castle Dragon Theater: The main theater stage apron is supplemented with a lower corner stage platform - a great spot for off-stage action to take place!
