The Columbia Theatre Celebrates It’s Centennial

This is the second post about the Columbia Theatre, read the first here.

This past April, the Columbia Theatre turned 100 years old. Over its course, innumerable stories have unfolded beneath the marquee; everything from gowns to costumes paraded through the halls, footwear of every kind pacing between the red velvet seats. On this special spring weekend, the community celebrated the venue. But the celebration wasn’t candid or impromptu.

Join us as we take you within the wings to explore the journey from dress-rehearsal to a performance for the ages. Performing are a composite choir and LaRhonda Steele.
