Back in October 2022, we unveiled the next phase of our neighborhood transformation with the plans for new theater marquees.
Designed to bring the grandeur and beauty of our 100-year-old, fully-restored theaters outdoors, this next phase features dazzling new theater marquees, and technology upgrades for elements installed during the original phase of the transformation.
These sensational marquees will stand as an enduring public tribute to everyone who has brought us through our first 100 years and to the bright possibilities ahead.
