Julie, a representative from the theatre, shared its rich history, noting that it has hosted hundreds of musicals and plays over the years. She encouraged community members to visit the theatre this Sunday from 1 to 3 PM to learn more about its legacy and view memorabilia, with the mayor and other officials expected to attend. The theatre's upcoming production of "Music Man" is set to open next Friday, further highlighting its ongoing contribution to local arts.
