Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls: Join us
for another captivating SNOOP! as we sneak
behind the scenes at the historic Variety
Theatre on
Lorain Avenue in Cleveland. The theatre,
designed by
architect
Nicola Petti, was built in 1927 and sold to
Warner Brothers in
1929. Before closing its doors in 1984 the
theatre was
used for vaudeville acts, movies, concerts,
wrestling, a
haunted house, and a charter school. Now
Cleveland Councilwoman Dona Brady plans to
renovate the building and give it a new life.
Join
us at 10:00 a.m. for the tour and learn
what's in store for the
historic Variety Theatre. This event is free
but you
must be a member to attend. Not yet a member? 
We are thrilled to share that the Cleveland
Restoration
Society's 2007 benefit, Moreland
Mystique: Opening the Door to Moreland
Courts,
was recognized by Currents as one of
the top
benefits of
last year! Nearly 400 guests enjoyed the
event on April 28, which
included tours of several of the spectacular
suites in
the complex, displays by the Shaker Heights
Historical
Society and Western Reserve Historical
Society, the
Restore Cleveland! Auction, an elegant dinner
served
by the Skating Club, and dancing to the
sounds of Phil
Ogilvie's Rhythm Kings. Many thanks to our
benefit
chairs Nancy Griffith, Nancy Seitz and Gail
Arnold and
our staff and volunteers for making this event a
smashing success and to Currents for the
recognition!
