Centre Theatre

Episode notes In this episode, Tim sits down with Phillip Church, board member of Centre Theatre for the Performing Arts in El Reno, formerly El Reno Community Theatre. After a revival in 2011, El Reno Community Theatre began performing at Redlands Community College until making a deal with the city to gain access to the old Centre Theatre, a landmark in El Reno. They converted the old movie/live theatre into a growing performing arts center. In 2020, they adopted the name of Centre Theatre to coordinate with their surroundings. They now open their doors to a variety of performing arts including plays, concerts, recitals, and more. There's a lot going on in the culture of El Reno, and the future is bright. https://www.facebook.com/CentreTheatrefortheArts [https://www.facebook.com/CentreTheatrefortheArts] elrenoentertainment@gmail.com [elrenoentertainment@gmail.com] (405) 787-2229 We hope you enjoy the episode.
