A blurry photo of the north stairs to the balcony, with a pillar in the middle, taken with a zoom lens from midway across the mezzanine. - , Utah
On the landing at the bottom of the stairs to the balcony is a door leading to a 10 by 15 foot room located between the auditorium building and a parking garage just north of the theater.  A missing sign just above the door once identified its purpose.  An exit sign lies on the floor at the bottom of the three steps up to the landing.  The door probably leads to a mens restroom.
