By now, you’ve probably heard about the changes at the Byrd Theatre. I sat down with Gibson Worsham, President of the Byrd Theatre Foundation, for an in-depth look at what’s changed and what’s coming.  BTW, Gibson is an architect, but he’s also a blogger (Urban Scale Richmond), where he’s profiled some of Richmond’s historical theatres.
