The Tivoli Theatre here in Chattanooga marks its centennial on March 19th, a week from Friday.

This past year has been rough for "The Jewel of the South,” Memorial Auditorium and the Walker Theatre - all shuttered by the pandemic.

 

The Tivoli Theatre Foundation has been raising money through its Recovery Fund to preserve these historic venues and bring them back to life - and recently, the Fund launched a challenge.

Nick Wilkinson is executive director of the Tivoli Theatre Foundation.

Ray is the host and producer of Scenic Roots, Mondays - Thursdays at 3 PM on WUTC.
