PRESERVE THE IMPERIAL!

The Imperial Theatre recently completed $1.5 million in renovation work with the assistance of Special Local Option Sales Tax funds (SPLOST) in addition to grants and generous donations by the many friends of the Imperial. An additional $200,000.00 resulting from grants, donations and renovation fees charged on ticket sales was spent to repair plaster and paint as well as reupholstering the mezzanine seats. $4 to $6 million in additional renovation and restoration projects remains in order to return the historic Imperial Theatre to her former glory. In order for us to be successful the Imperial Theatre once again requests your generosity.
