AMOUNT DONATED: $3,062.61
Historic Warner Cascade Theatre is located in the recognized historic building where the Warner Brothers opened their first theatre - the Cascade - on February 2nd, 1907. Our mission celebrates the rich history of the Warners and their contributions to the film industry and American Culture. We do so with specialized displays and collections associated with film and the rich Warner culture as immigrants escaping to America from persecution in the late 1800's from a small village in Russia.

Needs that Cannot beMet without Your Help
As a 501(c)(3), the Museum constantly struggles to attain public and foundation support for its various programs and film events. Covid restrictions seriously impaired our ability to function and since many of the projects in place during that time were new to the Museum and part of its extended operation, we were not able to draw Covid support funding of any significance.
