I thought it worthwhile to share what we think will be the Brand / Logo for the Historic Meigs Theatre. Yep, the colors do mean something. What do you think?

We continue to develop concepts of the "finished look" of the Historic Meigs Theatre after reconstruction. It will be a huge different look from today!

Current project status: Engineering in full swing: Architectural, Structural, Fire Protection, HVAC, MEP. It's a handful.

Organizationally, we wish to "beef up" our Meigs Theatre Foundation (a 503(c)3 entity) Board of Directors. Keeping in mind that our mission statement includes three pillars: 1) Economic development (jobs for the folks of Meigs County); 2) Increased county/city revenue through tourism development, and 3) Involvement of local schools and youth organizations in the performing arts. If you have an interest in supporting this effort and being a part of something really special, we would like to hear from you. PM for details.

Well, you're noticing the Construction Fence go up. Yep.... you'll see a lot of activity going on OUTSIDE the building. INSIDE currently we are reinforcing barrel trusses which will support the balcony catwalks for great 2nd floor viewing of the performing stage. OMG! The scope of this work is enormous! But the end result will knock your socks off! More info to come as we progress. Current plans include: Silver Screen Cafe in the lobby (coffee / sandwich shop) with extended indoor and street-level outdoor seating. Hiwassee Social 2nd floor seating with full bar and restaurant options. 3rd floor outdoor rooftop seating w/fire pit and captivating views of the Town of Decatur skyline. Think of Nashville's Music Row right here in Decatur, TN.

This structure will become a multi-purpose venue, hosting live music concerts, private parties, weddings, sock-hops (for the high school kids), classic movies, theatrical plays, bluegrass festivals, promoting local talent, catered events, popcorn concessions, great coffee, breakfast, lunch and dinner menus. It will absolutely Put.Decatur.On.The.Map. You wait and see!

This is the kind of "old timey" photograph that we'll turn into a mural, or poster, or have it framed and placed in the Theatre. This one was in color but doctored to be B&W. Anything from the operating period of the Theatre (1946 - 1964) is desired!

As we are gaining traction on bringing the Historic Meigs Theatre back to life, I request assistance from all Meigs County Folks.

In certain areas of the Theatre we will decorate the walls with historical photographs of our towns, our county, and our people.
These images will be processed into posters, wallpaper, murals, etc. I solicit your assistance by providing your historical photos... memories that will be proudly displayed in the Theatre for generations.

I think this is a GREAT way to maintain a tangible connection to the past, serving as crucial cultural, social, and personal records. The images will document, evoke emotions, inspire change, and prevent the loss of stories to time. This preservation ensures that heritage, architectural evolution, and personal memories remain accessible for future generations. These images will act as bridges to the past, allowing our entire community to connect with their family history, heritage, and identity.

You can PM me those photos, or email them to [email protected].

I will be in touch regarding our plans for your images, and in the case copyrights or photos of your friends and family, obtain your permission to display them.
