The Landmark Theatre in Syracuse has embarked on a significant restoration project, marking the first comprehensive cleaning and repainting of its auditorium since the theater opened in 1928. This ambitious project aims to restore the theater to its original grandeur, with a budget of $1.5 million.
The restoration is scheduled to be completed before the start of the 2025-2026 theater season, which will kick off with the popular musical 'Hamilton.' The project is funded through a combination of a $500,000 state grant and private donations.
The Landmark Theatre, an iconic cultural venue in Syracuse, has long been a centerpiece of the city's arts scene. The restoration efforts are expected to enhance the theater's historical charm while ensuring it remains a vibrant venue for performances and events in the future.
