Mesa History: Documentarian holding fundraiser as means to finish story on Mesa theater
In a contributed article by historian Jay Mark in Throwback: Thursday that's news today - and that's news posted here more than two weeks ago on September 14 - Bruce Nelson gets double-exposure for the same fundraising event at Volstead Public House this Saturday from 7-9 p.m.
If you don't have the thirty bucks to attend, contributions in any amount are more than welcome to be sent to NEB Productions at the information in the post here on September 14.
Since its opening way back in 1924 when the Nile Theater was called "the Valley’s most magnificent movie house", it's always been a prime example of Creative Place Making and continues in that direction to this day over decades in the same location on Main Street through the ups-and-downs in the local economy over 90+ years.
History's interesting and fun to know and connect us to the places and people of the past . . . Bruce will document those stories thanks to an initial Ripple Grant from NEDCO to encourage artists engaging and involving with communities for Creative Place Making.
The Nile Theater is now world famous for its current status as a live music performance venue managed by the Mantooth Group.
We can all bite into that with gusto.
