Colonial Arts Center to highlight community arts groups and local artists as it prepares to celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2024

Question 1: Did you know there are only 54 days left in the year 2023?

Question 2: Did you know that the building housing the Colonial Arts Center will celebrate its 100th birthday in 2024?

That’s right! The historic Colonial Theatre, Cinema V and the many other names it has held throughout its rich history will officially hit its triple-digit age next year.

To celebrate, every week the CAC will highlight a different community arts group, individual artist or arts experience in the area. They’re kicking off with a highlight for their dear friends at Buckhannon Community Theatre.

BCT has been providing quality community theatre entertainment to the Buckhannon and surrounding areas for over 51 years. Last year, they celebrated a huge milestone with their first fully sold-out run of a show! All four performances of Clue: On Stage sold out and provided an exciting opportunity to bring back two encore shows.

If you have a story involving the history of local arts, send the CAC a message on Facebook!
