A money thing happened on the way to the Theatre
The Ohio Theatre and Event Center on Lagrange St. has been in need of improvements for a while and, thanks in part to US Representative Marcy Kaptur, they’re finally happening. The Children’s Theatre Workshop, which has owned Ohio Theatre since 2020, announced on Facebook last month that the group was awarded $2.5 million for renovations, one of nine community projects sponsored by Kaptur as part of the country’s 2022 appropriations bill. According to the announcement, the money will be utilized to restore the Theatre’s facade and marquee, as well as to renovate space for classrooms.
