Abstract
Description
By 1980 it was threatened to be demolished in order to build a parking lot. Rescued by philanthropists who set out to restore the theatre. They ran out of money in 1989. In 1994 it was purchased by George Castro, who restored it to its 1920's grandeur and used it as a performing arts center. It changed hands once again in 2014, this time to an owner who's experienced in rejuvenating older performing arts theaters and giving them the boost they need to continue hosting all different types of events from concerts, dance recitals to weddings to corporate events.
