Will you revive a classic?

The easiest way to reduce waste and consumption of materials is to make what you already have last forever.  Give Back Cincinnati is taking that one step further with their latest event: Save the Emery.

The Emery Theater on Central Parkway and Walnut in Over The Rhine was an elegant theater built in 1911 which has not been in a good enough condition to use for over a decade.  Instead of razing the property to create a new building the plan was to convert the adjacent school building into housing and eventually restore the theater.

Your elbow grease can make the difference between a musty, dormant old room and a living classic theater.  Help keep this historic neighborhood in use.  Want to get involved?  Check out the details on the Give Back Cincinnati website.

    I’ll be there, thanks to Park + Vine’s newsletter yesterday!

    Will you?

    I’m excited that this is even happening at all. Amazing.

    My question is how will the theater co-exist with all the residential units in the same building, adjacent to it.
