Break out the scissors for the GRAND re-opening of the Starlite Theatre! Today at 2:30 pm there is a ribbon-cutting ceremony to unveil the new huge LED HD Marquee (the previous sign ended up about 70 feet away in a neighboring hotel pool following the Leap Day tornado).

Bigger and better, the new marquee features a 9' X 15' high-definition digital video board and a new retro neon-and-LED lighting design that will be one of the most recognizable on Highway 76! Other improvements include new siding, a new roof, new paint, replacement glass, upgraded light and sound equipment and a completely replaced air-conditioning system. Whew!

The Texas Tenors "get the party started" with their first show of the season at 3:00 pm. Don't miss it!
