Here's a theatre marquee for the Savannah College of Art and Design, located in where else but Savannah, GA. Check out the vertical marquee on the Trustees Theatre.

The Trustees Theatre was known as the Weis Theatre when it opened its doors back in 1946 before closing in 1980 as downtown no longer became the only place in town to see a show. Today, the Trustees Theatre is home to the performing arts department for the SCAD, hence the name on the marquee. For more information, see the official website for the Trustees Theatre.

(Below) The Lucas Theatre in Savannah, GA opened in late 1921 and remained open for over half a century. After closing down due to attendance in the mid 1970's, the theatre survived multiple threats of demolition and was finally restored and reopened again in 2000. For more information, see the website for the Lucas Theatre for the Arts.
