Transformation at Great Plains Theatre
Transformations at Great Plains Theatre
Exciting things are happening at Great Plains Theatre as we continue to transform a section of the old Alco offices/new Thunder Struck building into our new, temporary home. The new space at 401 Cottage Street, Abilene has proven to be a diamond in the rough as we shape it into a comfortable home for our patrons and artists. Here are some pictures of the recent developments on the building's exterior.
We will premiere our new space with the October 2 opening of Weekend Comedy. Be sure to join us and get a firsthand glimpse at the evolution of these evolving projects.
For more information about tickets, pricing, youth programming, and the rest of our exciting season visit www.greatplainstheatre.com or call 785.263.4574.
