The F. Scott Fitzgerald Theatre, a beloved local landmark, will close its doors for substantial renovations starting on December 17, 2024. The planned upgrades aim to improve accessibility and sound quality, making it more inclusive for all audiences. The closure is expected to last until September 1, 2025, impacting both the theater and its social hall, which hosts various community events. The primary focus of these renovations is to ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, addressing safety concerns and enhancing the overall patron experience.

Local officials have emphasized the importance of these upgrades in fostering an inclusive environment for all attendees. As the community awaits the theater's reopening, residents are encouraged to explore alternative venues for performances and events during the renovation period. The project reflects a broader commitment to accessibility in public spaces. Updates on the renovations and related events will be communicated through local channels to keep the public informed.
