Ipswich Borough Council has announced plans for a £3.45m renovation of the city’s Regent Theatre to be completed by December 2025.
If approved, the project would be financed by a 20p restoration levy added to tickets, to be introduced from 5 August.
The renovation will include the installation of a lift, improvements to accessibility, larger bars and foyer areas, and updates to the canopy over the front doors.
It is the second phase of improvement works, the first part of which was completed last year with changes made to car parks, dressing rooms, backstage areas, and catering facilities.
A report set to be presented to the council's executive committee on 16 July said the project "will ensure that the Regent Theatre remains at the forefront of Ipswich’s visitor economy for many years to come."
