About Us
“. . . and what they’re saying, say it isn’t so.”
It is, though. Saturday, August 2, was ella’s last night. The Board of Directors of A Community Theatre, the non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization comprised of The Ballroom, The Theatre and ella’s Supper Club, announced that night that there seemed to be no way to keep the doors open for these three floors of magic. Ironically, that night, the house was packed—with more lovers of great jazz, great food and great ambience than had been there all summer. No miracle happened, and CenterStage is closed.
CenterStage was three floors of magic in one beautiful building!
