Curtain Call


The Palace Theatre, in downtown Vinton, which first opened as a theatre in 1915, is celebrating five years of operation in its reincarnation as a modern performing arts center / cinema for the Vinton community!
Live at the Palace will be in the tradition of our past variety shows, but with the added festive air as we celebrate these two important anniversaries -- five years for the Palace and twenty-five years for ACT I!
