In November 2024, the Crandell Theatre temporarily closed to begin its much anticipated renovation and restoration project. The theater will return to its original Spanish Renaissance splendor but the renovation will also bring several much-needed improvements, including new seating, remodeled and expanded bathrooms, a larger lobby and cafe, and state-of-the-art lighting, projection and sound. Many historic features, such as three dozen of the original 1926 balcony seats, will also be refurbished and reinstalled as valuable pieces of  living history.

The theater will remain closed during construction and is expected to reopen Summer/Fall 2025, in time for this grand old lady’s 100th anniversary in 2026.

During renovation construction, the Crandell will offer seasonal special events and film programs at various off-site regional locations. See the film listings below for upcoming off-site programming in and around Chatham.

The Board of Directors and Crandell staff wish to thank the many donors who have helped make this renovation and restoration possible.  We look forward to welcoming you back to our much-improved facility in 2025.
