Thanks to this wonderful group for keeping our hometown theater thriving!

Did You Know? The Lorraine Theatre is operated entirely by volunteers! Our team of dedicated volunteers work hard year-round to keep the magic alive at the Lorraine. To give them a well deserved weekend off, and to tackle a few important theater maintenance projects, we will be closed this weekend (9/3-9/6).

We'll be back on September 10th for the premiere of Practical Magic 2! Tickets are on sale now: LorraineTheatre.com

Know someone who’s pretty amazing? Tell them! 💕

Pick one of our fun mugs, add fresh flowers, and suddenly you’ve got the perfect little surprise to brighten their day. 💐

Different mugs + different sayings = an easy gift you can pick just for them!

Because “You’re Amazing” is a perfectly good reason to send flowers. 😉 https://www.treasuredrootsflowershop.com/products/cuppa-kindness?variant=52292290248991
