Forest Theater Rehabilitation

An Interstate Theater completed in 1949, the Forest Theater will soon be adapted for use as a multi-purpose performance space for community and private events with an educational component pilot school facilities in collaboration with DISD. With restoration of the exterior, two additions and rehabilitation of the interior historic spaces, the project will bring new life to the building and the neighborhood. The project will utilize federal and state Investment Tax Credits and New Market Tax Credits. The building will be listed on the National Register and is a local landmark.
