The Elba Theatre is a historic building on the square in downtown Elba. The rehabilitation of the space has been a multi-year endeavor with the goals of increasing foot traffic downtown, saving a historic landmark, and creating a space that can enrich the community through arts-based programming.
The work associated with this request has allowed for the addition of a catering kitchen and a ticketing booth in the lobby, as well as the installation of a replica of the original marquee on the façade of the building. The catering kitchen addition will allow more uses of the space and help with sustainability of the theatre through food and beverage sales; the ticketing booth addition will allow for better management of the facility, and the marquee will significantly impact the historic downtown as it lights up the courthouse square.
