Although the Laurel Theatre's spirit of community has always existed, the physical structure has changed. The building was nearly destroyed by fire in 1982. But the drive and determination that had created Jubilee inspired both old members and new friends to restore the building to nearly its original look. Now the Laurel Theatre incorporates both the gracious peacefulness of the old church and the spacious feel of the art center. During the concert season the walls resound with a wide variety of traditional and acoustic music.
Many performers praise the intimate atmosphere and fine acoustics of the building.
Share the Spirit With a capacity of 220, the theatre is also used by and local civic and private organizations for their activities. A volunteer Board of Directors and an Executive Director oversee the building's use. The Laurel Theatre is open to visitors by appointment and is available for private receptions, seminars and meetings. Call Jubilee Community Arts for more information. 1538 Laurel Ave.
