That auditorium was filled with cusioned theater seats. There were many great productions put on for staff and patients by a combination of staff and patients. It was a great motivator to stay out of trouble so you could be in the show. The backstage area had dressing rooms and costume areas. Before Ypsi closed it was in great condition for an old building. The floors were polished the bathrooms clean and it had nice curtains and artwork everywhere. It wasn't always a torn up ruin. And we had a lot of activities and parties for the patients. I worked there until the closure and have many fond memories of my patients and co-workers.
