CHATHAM–In late 2024, the Crandell Theatre, 48 Main Street, temporarily closed to begin a major renovation and restoration project. According the non-profit theater’s website, the building will be returned “to its original Spanish Renaissance splendor but the renovation will also bring several much-needed improvements, including new seating, remodeled and expanded bathrooms, a larger lobby and a new cafe, and state-of-the-art lighting, projection and sound.” The building will turn 100 next year. While construction takes place, the theater has hosted off-sight screenings at the Morris Memorial and PS21. For more information, go to crandelltheatre.org
