          Whiteside Theatre Tour

Come see how the theatre is being restored. Reflect on great movies of the 60s that you saw at the Whiteside: West Side Story, The Birds, Goldfinger, Pink Panther, The Graduate, To Kill a Mockingbird, Planet of the Apes, and more.  Visit the balcony, restroom, foyer, and auditorium. The Whiteside is currently being used for musical and cultural events while the restoration goes on.  

 

Cost:  There is no charge for either tour although donations are always appreciated and envelopes will be provided to make a donation. It is unnecessary to pre-register but organizers would like some idea of the level of participation so please let Joan Corcoran know at joanchs66@yahoo.com of your interest in advance.
