KANNAPOLIS â The historic Gem Theatre is about to get back to business.
Several months after closing for renovations, it will reopen May 27 with the showing of Disneyâs âCruella.â The theater broke the news with its new marquee spelling out the announcement Friday afternoon.
âOur restroom project on the first floor is not completed yet, but we decided that we need to get back to business,â said Steve Morris, owner of the Gem Theatre, in a phone interview Friday. âOur new heating and air conditioning system is complete and operational. The marquee restoration has been completed, and we have our fingers crossed that the governor is going to increase capacity on June 1, so we are anxious to get back to business.â
