  • Photographs of the marquee, the lobby, or the auditorium from any era of the theater's life.
  • Memories of the free opening weekend in July 2013, or of the theater's earlier decades as a single-screen house.
  • Recollections from former staff, volunteers, and the community backers who helped fund the 2013 revival.
