When the Floods of 2008 poured through the downtown area almost two years ago, there were two main entertainment centers that were hit hard. One was the Cedar Rapids Paramount where many concerts, entertainment, and shows were performed. The other, Theatre Cedar Rapids, a place full of exciting shows and entertainment for the Cedar Rapids Community. After months of sadness and grief, the city is now overjoyed and full of excitement.
Theatre Cedar Rapids, located in downtown Cedar Rapids across from the US Cellular Center, re-opened its doors last weekend to a sell out crowd. More than 550 people came out for the opening night of the new production of "The Producers". After 20 months of renovations, the Cedar Rapids Community has been anxiously awaiting this day and couldn't be happier with the outcome.
With new seating, new concessions, new restroom facilities, new lounges, etc. it is amazing how they have turned such devastation into something so great.
Check out this video, brought to you by KCRG TV9 News, for the complete story.
Last weekend was the opening weekend of "The Producers" and the actors and actresses were welcomed by a sell out crowd. They are hoping for another sell out crowd this weekend and all the way until their production finishes up on Sunday, March 14. Tickets can be purchased by calling the box office at 319−366−8591 or order online by going to http://www.theatrecr.org/blog/tickets
