We investigated options and determined that a complete rehabilitation of the stage is the best choice. This option would ensure that the amphitheatre meets all current codes and is accessible for all, and the stage would last for 75 to 100 years. We are actively seeking funding for potential solutions.
We will continue to share information as we have it. Updates will be posted on our website at go.nps.gov/CarterBarron.
