THE HEART THEATREÂ RETURNS: OUR STORY
Reviving The Heart Behind the Scenes
Over the years, several of us have visited The Heart and thought back fondly on our "first movie" there as a child or prom photos atop the marquee.
Thanks to the protective efforts of past owner Tad Sligar over the past decade and with the interest of many others, we are breathing new life into The Heart...and the entire community.
We believe that together, as a community, we are all better and can make a restored, beautiful Heart venue something for us all to be proud of and enjoy.
Amy Van Bergen purchased the property from Sligar in 2022, conducted marketing and feasibility studies in 2023 as well as had the property listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In December 2024, she donated it into the nonprofit The Heart Theatre, Inc. which will oversee the renovations and operations for The Heart. We are grateful to these board leaders who will ensure the doors will open again for the entire community to enjoy!
