A star is reborn: Renovated Lamp Theatre reopens next week

Post-Gazette: The doors of the landmark Lamp Theatre in Irwin will reopen Thursday.

A comedy revue at 7 p.m. will be the first act of the renovated theater, which closed in January 2005.

Borough Councilman John Cassandro, who is also a Relight the Lamp volunteer,  said Adam Schreck of Second City Productions and Ryan Ben of The Annoyance will perform. Both comedians are from Chicago.

The opening follows months of renovations by local volunteers, as well as work by previous owners, including the Westmoreland Cultural Trust. Irwin now owns the theater.
