A message from Rebekah Cook, Executive Director, The Southern Theater
"One of our value statements at The Southern Theater - that feels more relevant now than ever - is that we believe that art has the power to make a difference in the world, to transcend and overcome the differences between peoples lives and that the nature of artistic perception allows new awarenesses, new insights, new experiences. We return after being dark for nearly 18 months due to the pandemic, stronger and more focused than ever on our mission. We look forward to sharing our historic theater once again with our partners and guests, continuing our work building and sustaining a vibrant artistic community. We’re so glad to have you back!"
