A New Year's Dance Party

This past Saturday, January 3rd, The Colonial Theatre welcomed "The Winter Dance Party: The Official Tribute to Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper," which brought a crowd of over 600 people to its feet. This show was 120 minutes of fun for people of all generations, and we were excited to see so many of the Colonial's patrons having a great time at the start of our new year. :-)

Some more good news is that our sign is finally up! It took some time, as huge signs tend to, but it's beautiful and we're so happy that another one of our dreams has become a reality. The sign was made possible largely because of the kindness and generosity of the Francis family, a major supporter of the Colonial. The final step is to obtain the permit needed to have an operating LED screen that will continually show upcoming performances and other messages. We have already applied for the permit, so here's hoping we can install the LED screen as soon as possible.


The Colonial would also like to thank its wonderful patrons and donors who continue their support...without you, none of this would be possible!
