Civic Center Restoration Continues

Work on the Laramie Civic Center continues to proceed as the National Historical Site receives some much needed TLC. Part of the building, which was the old Eastside School, is over 130 years old. The theater, which dates to 1928, is currently the big focus. The stage and orchestra pit have been restored and the theater's seats will soon be reupholstered. Cleaning of the unique wall murals is also on the agenda. The Boomerang reported that over 200 people showed up for the Martin Luther King volunteer day at the Civic Center to clean the third and fourth floors of building. Executive director Alec Shea says he would love to have even more involvement as renovations move forward.
