SANDUSKY — The Sandusky State Theatre is still on track to open this year. The theatre has been closed for four years after a storm destroyed half of the building in 2020.
"My nephew performed at the state theater a while back; he recently passed away in 2020. So, it's a very special place for me and my family as well. I think anytime any of us go by it, that's what we automatically think of," said Richardson. "All the little finishings are happening now; we're starting to put new seats in and do all the little touches that make it really look like a theater again," said executive director Chris Parthemore."There were these acoustic panels on the wall, and we were able to peel back the layers and see all the layers of history.
"It'll allow us to do bigger and better shows that have more of an impact on the community. But most importantly, we're going to be able to bring Broadway national tours here, which, when we did public feedback that was the number one thing that everyone in the community said they wanted to see," said Parthemore."We are adding more concessions, restrooms and elevators to make it more accessible for the entire community.
