The box office manager let us go in and look around and take pictures of this beautiful decorated theater. It felt like a minature of the famous Fox Theater in Atlanta.

It was close to the hotel. We walked in and the person at the desk told us we could go right in. We walked around and were able to go onto the stage...got some good pictures.

Beautiful old theater that still has performances - next plays are in the fall. Worth a trip back just to see the place in action.

Great work was done years ago to restore this theater to its original grandeur. It is good to see how it is being used in its present day.
