On Feb. 14, 1946, the Weis Theater opened its doors with an 11 a.m. showing of Enchanted Forest starring Brenda Joyce and Edmund Lowe. According to the SCAD Website, “The Weis remained a working theater, presenting live shows as well as films, until 1980, when the emergence of multi-screen suburban cinemas drew audiences away from downtown. It stood abandoned for years until it was acquired by the Savannah College of Art and Design in 1989 to serve the emerging performing arts department as well as provide a venue for the annual spring Fashion Show and for screening student films, videos and computer animations. The structure reopened as Trustees Theater May 9, 1998, with a performance by singer Tony Bennett. The Trustees Theater now hosts a variety of performances, concerts and lectures for SCAD and the community. By restoring the theater to its former Art Modern splendor and by attracting major performers, SCAD has contributed to the revival of the Savannah theater district.“

http://www.lucastheatre.com/venues/lucas According to the SCAD Website, “Arthur Lucas and architect C.K. Howell opened the Lucas Theatre in December 1921. The theater's design was a culmination of more than two years of collaboration between Lucas and Howell, and combined Lucas' favorite architectural details from the Greek revival, Adams-inspired, Art Deco and Neoclassical periods. Lucas owned more than 40 theaters in the South - six of them in Savannah - but the Lucas was the only one to bear his name. The Lucas Theatre closed in 1976 after a deserted screening of "The Exorcist." Different owners attempted unsuccessfully to convert the venue into a comedy club and restaurant, and the building was eventually slated for demolition. In 1986 the owners obtained a demolition permit and made arrangements to turn the once thriving Lucas Theatre into a parking garage. The news motivated a group of Savannah citizens who founded The Lucas Theatre for the Arts. The group pooled their resources, purchased the building and began what would be a $12 million restoration. Supported by donations from Savannahians and celebrities such as Kevin Spacey, Clint Eastwood and the cast and crew of the film "Forrest Gump," the complete restoration spanned nearly 13 years. The Lucas Theatre reopened in December 2000 with a screening of "Gone with the Wind," and in the following months hosted Broadway shows and famous musicians. Although show attendance was high, the operation of the building proved too expensive to sustain on its own. The Savannah College of Art and Design recognized the theater as an important cultural asset in the community, and formed a relationship with The Lucas Theatre for the Arts. The theater's future is now assured by the college's support, which allows for a wide range of community uses in addition to top-notch entertainment such as operas from London and Italy, European orchestras, country stars, traveling repertory companies and film series.“ Savannah Shakespeare Festivalhttp://www.shakespearefestival.comThose looking for a romantic outing of sophistication and togetherness will find the perfect vacation destination with the Savannah Shakespeare Festival.
