Before and after shots of the seats in the PM&L Theatre in Antioch on Monday. A stark difference! Thank you to everyone who helped lug out all these chairs. They'll be put to good use in the Kenosha!

It may be a bit before the chairs get put to use, but! It's still very exciting to get a head-start! We'd love to give you the grand tour next time you're in town.
Love this! I canβt wait to get back Kenosha soon to see what has been done!
Our neighbors in Antioch are getting their chairs replaced, so we spent this morning taking them all out to take to the Kenosha! Amazing what you can do in two hours with enough help. Thanks, everyone! πβ¨

I'm sure we have some Mike & Ikes around here somewhere, we'll let you know when we find them π
Perhaps with the power of the Dragon Balls, we can restore the Kenosha Theater...π€
Fun Things found in the Theater: Dragon Balls??? Yep, we found the Dragon Balls.

Volunteer Day was interrupted by an unexpected visitor π
We get bats here in the Kenosha Theater every so often. We eventually did lead it out of the basement by gently waving a stick at it.
Join our next volunteer event! Coming up March 8th! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Enjoying a tasty lil soup and sandwich after a short yet fulfilling theater volunteer day.

If you enter the Kenosha Theater at just the right time this time of year, you'll see a single ray of light coming through the window in the projector booth. You could say the projector booth is still doing it's job.

There's a ladder at the back of the Theater's stage that reaches all the way to the top. It's so tall, we can't even fit the whole thing in one photo!

In addition to the front having doors, the back of the Kenosha Theater has new windows installed! Huge difference to the boarded up windows we've grown so used to.

First pass of one of my final projects for the semester! Decided to make something for the @kenoshatheater.bsky.social!!
The storefront next door is currently being gutted. We've been emptying it out slowly to make room for some bathrooms!
