Love Theater Couple set to restore Rodgers Theater in Anna
Chris and Laurie Carbonell, longtime lovers of old theaters, strive to restore Rodgers Theater built in 1938 on West Vienna Street. They moved to Florida, leaving a costly roof repair of about 20000 to stop further water damage. The couple still works with Anna officials hoping to raise 200000 to reopen within a year, risking bankruptcy if funds fall short.
