Description
We are not all organists, and we don’t all own home organs. Some of us see the Theater as a marvelous opportunity to save a unique atmospheric theater. We are restoring it to a working theater as near to its 1928 state as possible, while at the same time keeping stage, lighting, film, and sound equipment up to the changing
standards of today’s technology.
