Reopening slated at Argenta theater
Argenta Community Theater will hold its grand-reopening at 7 p.m. on Aug. 17 in the Argenta Plaza at 510 Main St.
The theater was shut down for much of the pandemic. Its first show since reopening, "Pippen," will debut Aug. 18, with performances continuing until Aug. 28.
People looking to attend the reopening celebration are encouraged to dress in "snappy casual" clothes and will be encouraged to wear masks regardless of vaccination status.
A reception for sponsors and VIP ticket-holders will be at 6 p.m. on Aug. 17, just before the celebrations, on the Sky Deck of First Orion Corp, which is adjacent to Argenta Plaza.
