Theater
The Margaret Williams Theater in East High School was once magnificent, with an upper balcony, a back section under the balcony, and an enormous chandelier. However, in the 1970s, the theater was renovated and the upper balcony was walled up to allow for the creation of the Barrett and Randall rooms as study halls. The chandelier was removed and the theater's seats were replaced with desks for more study halls. Currently, there is an effort to raise funds to renovate the theater.

—Gerald Early (b. 1952)
“When the theater gates open, a mob pours inside, and it is the poet’s task to turn it into an audience.”
