Robinson Theater transformation into community center well under way

Previously just a rumor, work on the Robinson Theater Community Arts Center has been well under way for a little while:
In 2008, the Robinson theater is undergoing another reinvention, this time returning to its roots as an “icon of the transformation of this section of Church Hill”. [...] With a myriad of opportunities for young and old alike, including lessons in dance, karate, acting and music, Saturday matinees, community meetings, receptions and recitals, the possibilities for neighborhood use are endless. Throughout the restoration process, neighbors have stopped by, eager to share their personal, fond memories of this once beautiful theater. With a full replica of the Robinson Theater marquee returned to its rightful place, this historic monument will once again bring light to the Hill.
