Saving Wisconsin’s Historic Theatres
During the September workshop, people from Wisconsin and beyond will gather to discuss the challenges and successes facing the state’s historic theatres. Created by the Wisconsin Trust for Historic Preservation and the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, the workshop features a rich and varied array of preservation topics, with a focus on historic theatres. Workshop attendees will also have the opportunity to network and tour the Taliesin grounds (for free!) with a special look at ongoing restoration.
