Ardent Devries, teacher at San Lorenzo High School, needed to find a new place for theater arts activities as the school had decided the cafeteria was no longer an option. She thought of Park Hall but found it needed a lot of work inside and out. She thought about a Shakespearean look and found out from local expert Alice wilder that Park Hall was always supposed to be a Tudor design. The original building from the stage back was actually a stable in the 1880s. The front was added to hold graduation ceremonies in the hall. Devries plans to make improvements to the building and will have first rights to the use of the building for school functions according to the new lease.
