Help us celebrate at this special one-night event!
We’re getting ready to celebrate our first full season back downtown with our Season Kick-Off Gala fundraiser -- and we want you to join us! The Gala, featuring opening night of 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, will take place Friday, Sept. 10, 2010 beginning at 6 p.m.
Join us for this fun-filled event where you can participate in a silent auction in the “Teacher’s Lounge,” enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres in the “Principal’s Office,” or get your “class photo” taken as a souvenir for just $10, complete with glasses and other props. You could even end up onstage as a spelling bee participant in the première performance of 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. read more »

This is the video that was shown during the announcement by Theatre Cedar Rapids that we are bringing the Iowa Theatre Building back in February of 2010.
This video features comments by Ron Livingston of “Office Space” and Michael Emerson of “Lost”; the announcement of what our first show back in the Iowa Theatre Building will be; historic photos from throughout the life of the building; and, of course, footage of volunteers sandbagging the theatre the day of the flood.
Aaron Brown contributed original music and donated it royalty-free. Many of the photos in this video are mine, but others are contributed by George T. Henry, Steve Eckert and John Schneipkoweit. Special thanks also to Ron Livingston and Michael Emerson, who took time out of very busy schedules in the film industry to record comments of support. Finally, thanks to KCRG for agreeing to allow use of their campaign and flood coverage in the video, and to The Gazette for the historical images of the Iowa Theatre Building.
Please share this video wherever you can. We’re really excited about finally getting the Iowa Theatre Building back on its feet.
