According to its current owners, the building used to be a movie theater in the early 20th century. Then, for a brief spell from the 1990s to early 2000s, it was a church.

While they kept the name of the old movie theater, the operators say they plan to rebrand it as the "premier destination for live entertainment, the likes of which this region has rarely seen."

Here are some upcoming events:

• 6 and 9 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 25 — The New Brigade concert; tickets are $10.
• 8 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 29 — Big Timing Comedy: Standup: Stefan Subotich
• 5 p.m. on Friday, April 3 — Live music for the first First Friday of 2020
