The Board of Directors: Mapping the Route
The board of directors works hard to find the ways and means to make the dreams into realities. It’s not an easy job.
Beginning with a mad dash to raise funds to purchase the Granada outright and save it from planned demolition in 1994, this group has been dedicated to renovating the theatre to bring back the flavor of its former glory.
Without their efforts, there would be a hole in the heart of Emporia Kansas.

The remaining board members are very important too, without their patience this whole project and the theater’s ongoing utilization would not be possible.
