Hello Friends,
Last week we performed in a gem of an old theatre - The Empire Theatre in Tekoa. Built in the 40's as a movie house, this art deco inspired building has stood on the main street (actually Crosby Street) and seen the many changes of this small town come and go.
In it's heyday you could pay 25 cents for a double feature. While the Empire did close its doors for a good chunk of the 60's-80's, it has since been restored and maintained by the citizens of Tekoa and continues to provide a live arts experience once a month to the good citizens of Whitman County.
It is a gorgeous little theatre and one with undeniable charm and history. I love theatres like this and am glad to have not only tour this wonderful space but also say that I directed there as well.
