Speaking of neon signs, the facade of the Garden Theatre (theater?) returns to its original splendor next week, minus the actual theater, of course.

The Grand Re-Opening & Marquee Lighting is scheduled for Tuesday, May 30: 7:30-9:00 pm. The lighting ceremony will be held at 8:45 pm and will feature remarks by Ken Yeager and a blessing of the building by Rev. Peter Pabst, President of Sacred Heart Nativity School. There will be a dessert and ice cream reception to mark the event, and everyone is invited.

From the official press release, which includes a link to an animated video file of the new sign …

After 10 years in disrepair, the Marquee on the Garden Theater will burn bright once again. Held together literally with wire hangars and bubblegum, Arrow Sign Company was hired to restore it to prior glory, including some exciting new animation. The rest of the building has also been renovated inside and out under the supervision of owner Michael Mulcahy, architect Maia Gendreau of MBA Architects, and Devcon Construction.
