Walla Theatre
ADVERTISEMENT
- Renovation grant under way: The Gorge Arts and Heritage Council of Walhalla, N.D., has received a $20,000 matching grant from the North Dakota State Historical Society to restore the historic Walla Theatre in Walhalla. The Walla Theatre, constructed in 1949 and closed in 1982, had slowly fallen into disrepair. Then, in 2007, the Gorge Arts and Heritage Council secured the title and began working through the Saving Walla Theatre Project to make it a performing arts theater and cinema, a news release said. The plan is to host year-round events and to provide a stage for the Walhalla school. The grant will be used for repair and stabilization of the roof.
