Historic Uptown Theater Celebrates Black Music Month By Opening Doors for Tours
Uptown Theater.
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — It’s been more than a year since the Uptown Theater began its first phase of renovations and progress has been slow…but steady. To celebrate Black Music Month, the Philadelphia landmark is opening its doors to the public for a day of tours.
“It’s important for people to see the progress, but also to see it in it’s raw form,” says Linda Richardson, president of Uptown Entertainment and Development Corporation, which owns the theater on North Broad Street. She says $3 million dollars in funding has helped clean out debris and put a big dent in renovations for the six story education and development Tower – the building now has a stable infrastructure, workable stairs and historic windows installed.
