THE CRITICAL NEED
The tradition of this remarkable building is a living testament to the value placed on a unique and special quality of life in our community. This is a project about community wellness and economic revitalization.

The Stanley Theatre is a critical linchpin for regional community development and economic revitalization. Unlike so many theaters in regional downtowns, the Stanley is building on a 78-year tradition as an entertainment destination. Combined with every other aspect of our downtown community development, urban renewal and business development, we have a golden opportunity and a challenge. We must act now!
