LORING's Princeton office is responsible for mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection engineering services for the renovation and alteration of the Westport Country Playhouse.  Opened in 1931 in a 100-year-old cow barn, the Westport Country Playhouse has been home to over 700 plays, including 75 that have transferred to Broadway. In 1999, Ford Farewell Mills and Gatsch Architects (FFM&G) prepared a master plan for improvements to make the historic theatre a modern, year-round performance space. 

In 2000, FFMG began work on the design for renovations that include reconstructing the theatre house to bring it up to code, improving site lines, adding accessible seating, and installing a new HVAC system.  A new lobby is being constructed to allow for better accessibility, concession space, and new accessible restrooms. The existing workshop will be totally renovated and turned into a rehearsal hall/black box theatre with its own dedicated support spaces. A new workshop will be provided in an addition behind the fly tower with adequate dust collection, storage, and air circulation.
