About the event
Step back in time with The Heart! Join us for a special evening of local history as board members from The Heart Theatre partner with the Effingham County Museum to present “The Heart of Effingham – Looking Back on the History of the Theatre.”
This presentation explores the story of Effingham’s only surviving Art Moderne style building and how The Heart became such an important part of our community. We’ll have theatre artifacts on display and we’d love for you to bring along your own stories, photos, or memorabilia to share!
Everyone who attends will have a chance to win having their name displayed on the Heart marquee.
