Friends of Englewood Theater is excited to host a Behind the Scenes tour of the historic Englewood Theater which recently was listed on the National Register for Historic Places.

It will be a fun and informative evening featuring which will include:

Hear exciting plans for the theater and the Ben Franklin building which we are in the process of acquiring.

Meet the project architects. They’re great.

Hear the Kawai piano from the KC Opry (which performed in the theater) including our plans to play Great Balls of Fire.

See the many artists who signed it.

We are working hard to create a new cultural hub for Eastern Jackson County. Come see and be part of it.

It will be a great evening.

Thanks to Truman Heartland Community Foundation for hosting this event.
