| The Gillioz Theater Returns |
The New Gillioz and
Morris Art Center
October 13, 2006 marks the beginning of
a new era in the life of the Gillioz Theater.
The renovation has been completed and it
is now open to the public. As a
complement to the Gillioz, the former
Netter's Department Store has also been
renovated and is accessible from the
theater This building will be named the
"Jim Morris Center for the Arts." It will
have many uses. Large rooms on the
second and third floors, in which wood
floors will be restored, are almost ready
for occupants. Caterer Ryan Tiller, who
owns Dining by Design, has leased the
second floor. He'll call the reception hall
Wellington Place. Together these two
buildings will provide a center of meeting
space and entertainment in a atmosphere
of elegance. Hopefully we can add more
pictures of the completed Gillioz as they
are available.
The following is a link to a newspaper
article detailing the renovation of the
Gillioz. I'm sure it will be of interest to
those who have not read it yet.
