After being closed for almost a year, Kearney’s World Theatre is reopening after long-awaited remodels were delayed by the onset of COVID-19. Crane River Theater Company will be performing its show “Pretty Fire” beginning Feb. 23.
Excitement surrounds the remodel of the theater, which includes new seats in the balcony, a new concession area, improvements in stage lighting, an addition of a candy shop, a lounge area, and even the restoration of the building’s original dressing rooms.
“It’s a whole new World,” said World Theatre executive director Bryce Jensen. “There’s new really cool places to hang out, little nooks and crannies that didn’t even exist before in the theater.”
