 Centennial Building Foundation

The Centennial Building Foundation is ringing in the Holiday Season with a new adaptation of Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol. This dinner theatre production will be held at Maniaci's Banquet Hall in Richmond over Thanksgiving weekend, with 3 performances November 24th, 25th, and 26th.

The Centennial Building Foundation presents this performance with a focus on improvements to the Richmond Community Theatre. In an effort to raise funds to support this historical site, the CBF has accepted the enormous task of installing a handicap lift and a barrier-free restroom, making the theatre available to all who wish to attend the myriad of excellent shows and events that take place there.

Much of the ground work for this project has been completed; architectural drawings have been created, consultations with the National Historical Commission have been held, requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act have been met and City of Richmond ordinances, sewer and water guidelines have been satisfied.
That, of course, leaves financing. CBF members have been working closely with Macomb County in hopes of receiving a sizeable portion of the money in the form of grants. Much effort has already been made, but plenty still lies ahead. There are still many objectives to be met. The CBF is confident this worthwhile project will be accomplished, and would appreciate any help and suggestions you might have.

Call today and reserve your tickets to join in the Holiday Spirit and support the CBF in its efforts to improve the Richmond Community Theatre. Tickets are available by reservation only, $28.00 for adults-$14.00 for children 12 years and under. Nov. 24-25 performances: Doors open at 6pm, dinner at 7pm, show starts at 8pm. Nov. 26, Sunday performance: Doors open at 4pm, dinner at 5pm, and show starts at 6pm. Please call (586) 727-9727 for information / reservations.
