Roxy Theater In Lockport Reveals Renovation

LOCKPORT, IL — A newly renovated Roxy theater was revealed to members of the Trinity Services community at an event on Feb. 21 in downtown Lockport. Trinity Services, Inc., purchased the theater in 1995, and used it as a social spot for the people with developmental disabilities and mental illness whom Trinity supports.

According to the organization, in recent years, through a partnership with the City of Lockport, the Roxy was also open to the public on select nights for movie viewings and other events. The building was then temporarily closed for renovations, which were revealed at the Feb. 21 event.

Updates include a new facade and marquee sign; new flooring; updated bar, lounge and recreation areas; fresh interior paint and lighting fixtures; a new roof; and upgraded fire and safety systems. All renovations emphasize a 1920s Art Deco theme, according to the organization.

According to the organization, the Roxy will be used for dinners, lectures, live entertainment, movies and more. Trinity Services staff will use the space for celebrations, staff appreciation events and trainings.

The organization said in a release the Roxy will also be available for the public by early summer to rent for events like wedding receptions, birthday parties and other gatherings.
