RESTORATION
PRESERVING MEMORIES & CREATING NEW ONES
Why would anyone embark on such a daunting project? Our three reasons to restore the historic Holly Theatre are really quite simple:
PRESERVE a nationally recognized landmark
ENTERTAIN by bringing new options to the Valley
REVITALIZE by adding $3.2 mil annually to Medford & Rogue Valley economy and supporting 106 full-time jobs in the neighborhood.
Those are pretty compelling reasons, don't you agree? Read on to learn more about this project.
Currently scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2024 (fundraising and supply chain allowing), this 1930 movie palace is the only remaining historic theater of the five movie palaces that once stood in downtown Medford. It's our last chance to save an amazing treasure of our past. One of the most ornate buildings in Medford when it opened, it is being restored to its original 1930 design and splendor.
The Holly Theatre restoration is a project of Jefferson Live -- the division of the JPR Foundation responsible for the restoration and operation of Redding's Cascade Theatre. The design and management teams have considerable experience in the restoration of historic properties and financially successful theater operations.
