FREE kid-friendly 95th Anniversary Celebration for Lucas Theatre, Savannah
Lucas Theatre in Savannah is turning 95! To celebrate this milestone, the Theatre is hosting a FREE Anniversary Celebration Fri. Sept. 23, 2016, 5-11PM.
Open to the Savannah community & featuring kids’ activities, local vendors & raffles. The Savannah Food Truck Festival will bring an array of different cuisines to the public.
Starting at 7pm, the showing of the 1939 classic Gone with the Wind, in an homage to the first showing after the Lucas’ reopening
The Lucas is throwing this party as a big Thank You to Savannah! Arthur Lucas built The Lucas Theatre of the Arts in 1921. The Lucas saw a decline in ticket sales as television gained popularity & the suburbs drew people away from the downtown area, ultimately closing its doors in 1976. Ten years later, a motivated group of Savannah citizens worked to save the Lucas from being demolished. They pooled their resources, purchased the building & began a restoration that would eventually span nearly 14 years to create the non-profit organization the Lucas is today. In December 2000, the Lucas reopened, screening Gone with the Wind to announce its return.
