Granada Theatre opens doors after long awaited renovations

Donors to the Granada Theater cut the ribbon, Friday morning, at the theater’s grand reopening. After being closed since 1982, the doors were opened to the public for the first time to host a thank you gala for all those who donated time and money to the efforts of restoring the historic theater to its original beauty.

The Granada Theatre reopened last Friday, exactly 79 years after it first opened. The reopening began with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11:30 a.m. Later that evening, a gala was hosted for all that had donated to the renovations.

“What a great thing to build Emporia’s future on,” said Richard Garber, board chairman of the chamber of commerce, at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. “If this isn’t building futures, I don’t know what is.”

The executive director of the Granada is a May 2008 graduate of Emporia State with a degree in business administration.

“It’s been an awesome project for me after just graduating from college, getting (this kind of) experience,” said Doug Ford, executive director.
