The Plaza Theatre glass on the box office and front of the building looks beautiful, thanks to Jeff Blankenbeckler and his generous donation in memory of his wife Bobby. This is the best the theatre has looked in decades. A special thanks to Jeffries Bath and Tile for the fantastic job they did with the installation of the glass. The Plaza is located on the south side of the Lamar square.
