The Robins Theatre changes everything

By MARK C. PEYKO |Metro Monthly Publisher

A few year’s ago, I attended a press event at the then-vacant Robins Theatre in downtown Warren.

Amid the trouble lights, extension cords, and missing sections of plaster, you could see the beauty and potential. But potential demands vision and funding. And, fortunately for Warren, the Robins Theatre got both.

As we go to press, the steel framing for the theater’s marquee is in place, but it’s nowhere near complete. However, it will soon brighten a stretch of East Market Street that’s been dark for over 40 years.

Although there have been steady improvements to the central business district, a revitalized Robins Theatre will be transformational. A bright and functioning Robins Theatre will uplift and enrich everyone.

Thanks to all the skilled, talented people who brought the theater back to life. Congratulations go out to theater developers Mark Marvin and Ken Haidaris on their upcoming, and well-deserved, victory lap. Thank you for your patience, belief, and vision.

We’ll soon be joining previous generations of Warren in this grand, luxurious space. Thank you for connecting past and present.
