"With the tragic burning of Athens’ beloved Georgia Theatre in the recent past, the Athens music scene remembers daily the great loss of a historical venue. Theatre and music scene supporters around Athens have rallied their efforts to raise money for the rebuilding of the Theatre and the restoration of a necessary venue to the Athens music scene. Though the original Theatre can never be replaced, Athens’ musicians and concertgoers look forward to 2011 and the completion of the Theatre’s rebuilding."

To celebrate, we are inviting everyone with an interest in community arts to join us at Ciné (234 West Hancock Avenue ) on Monday, April 13 as we unveil the video to the public for the first time.
