Just a few months after fire and flooding nearly shut down a historic theater in Lewisburg; the doors are open once again. And as eyewitness news reporter Jeremy Deebel explains, patrons couldn’t be happier.
The Campus Theatre in Lewisburg is back in business, and that has folks here smiling.
Employees at Lewisburg Bridal, which sits right next to the Campus Theatre, say the local landmark brings plenty of foot traffic their way. They admit there were some tense moments when disaster struck back at the end of June.
We’re told a pipe burst caused an electrical fire. The main theater was untouched, but the basement was left in quite a mess. Theater officials credit firefighters and
their staff for keeping the damage to a minimum.
On October 17th, the theater will hold a special event to honor all local firefighters.
The event coincides with the opening night of the Campus Theatre’s documentary festival.
And now that all the repairs are finished, theater-goers here are ready to kick back and let the shows begin.
The campus theatre opened in 1941. It was renovated in 2001 and began operating as a non-profit institution. | |
