The Hedback Theatre, the cherished venue of Footlite Musicals, proudly marks its centennial on August 2. To commemorate this significant milestone, the community is invited to join a fundraising event. The Hedback Community Theater Centennial Celebration kicks off with a complimentary open house from 1-4 p.m., allowing attendees to discover the historic venue, complete with behind-the-scenes tours that emphasize its rich legacy. “I hope to see the community come out and show their support. It's a true source of pride for our neighborhood,” expressed Etta Biloon, chairman of the committee. “We must ensure this building continues for another century." At 7 p.m., a Gala will transport guests back to the 1920s with a speakeasy theme featuring live entertainment, light bites, a cash bar, and a silent auction aimed at funding essential renovations. Constructed in 1924, the theatre originally hosted the Little Theatre Society. While it requires updates to its heating, cooling, and facilities, the space remains a beloved hub for artistic expression. Tickets for the evening affair range from $65 to $125, with further details available at footlite.org.
