It’s official, the Massac Theatre has a new owner. Larry Ward has purchased the theatre and wants to begin restoration immediately. Larry is a familiar face in Metropolis. He is Noel Neill’s manager, and he shares the same vision for the building as the Save The Massac committee. The committee is very excited with this new development and can’t wait to begin this next phase in the Massac’s restoration.
The funds the committee has raised will go towards restoring the marquee, and we will continue to raise funds towards this goal.
Thank you committee members, Massac Theatre supporters, and Larry Ward. See you at the movies!
We are raffling a Huffy girls Cruiser bicycle. The tickets are $1 each or six for $5 and are can be purchased at Creations The Florist (located at 600 Ferry Street), City Hall, or from any Save the Massac committee member. The drawing will be held on Friday, November 4th and the winner will be notified to pick up their shiny new bicycle.
