HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) - A historic movie theater in West Virginia will receive a new projector and sound system thanks in part to an anonymous gift.
The Marshall Artists Series at Marshall University said in a statement that it received the gift to invest in equipment to expand program offerings at the Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center in Huntington.
The upgrades were set to be installed this week, the statement said.
“We were thrilled to receive funding for an upgrade to the outdated equipment at the Keith-Albee and are looking forward to a new and improved film experience for our patrons,” said Marshall Artists Series Executive Director Penny Watkins.
Along with private donations, the project also was made possible in part by funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the federal CARES Act through the West Virginia Humanities Council, the statement said.
