The World Theatre receives June Spotlight Business Award
November 21, 2017
KEARNEY – The Kearney Area Chamber of Commerce Business & Education Committee presented its June Spotlight Business Award to The World Theatre of Kearney. Committee Chair, Mark Liljehorn, presented the award to Bryce Jensen.
The World Theatre is a nonprofit, volunteer-run theatre. Their goal is to bring audiences a better alternative to the commercial Hollywood fare by celebrating the motion picture as art. The experience is one of a kind, the tickets and concessions are affordable, and the theatre features movies for all audiences.
The World Theatre is housed inside the historic Masonic Temple building that was built in 1927. After being closed for several years, the theatre reopened in June 2012 after three years of renovation work and a communitywide fundraising campaign launched by Kearney native and Hollywood screenwriter Jon Bokenkamp. Almost every element of the theatre, from floor tiles to plaster, was restored to the historic feel of a 1920s vaudeville theatre.
The World Theatre has been a Kearney Chamber member since 2012. Visit their website, www.theworldtheatre.org or give them a call at 308-234-8046.
