THE GRANADA
1214 STATE ST.
Just two years after reopening to the public following a monumental restoration, The Granada celebrates with a party on stage this Thursday, March 4.
Santa Barbara, CA–On March 4, 2008, The Granada opened its doors to welcome first the very people who poured hours of energy and sweat into the completion of the monumental restoration project. The “Hard Hat” event, honoring construction workers, architects, project leaders and the like, culminated with a party on stage that christened the old “new” theatre and literally set the stage for the next 100 years.
Two years later, this Thursday, March 4, The Granada reignites the celebration, on stage, throwing its own birthday party and inviting the community to take part. Tickets are just $20 for the event, which includes two free beverages and hors d’oeuvres catered by the new Marquee Martini Lounge which recently opened in front of the theatre on State Street; surprise entertainment; and music by DJ Pat Swayzak. The event is sponsored by The Marquee, Bella Vista Designs and Classic Party Rentals. Tickets may be purchased in advance at 805-899-2222, and may be available at the door, space permitting
In addition, coinciding with downtown’s free 1st Thursday event that night, The Granada will open its McCune founders to the public for an exhibit of the works of renowned photographer Santi Visalli. Visalli’s Icons of the Performing Arts, which features portraits and intimate photographs of some of the entertainment industry’s most legendary icons, will be on display through April.
“For four decades my lenses focused on the famous and infamous – from industrialists to criminals, artists to scientists, writers to economists, movie and opera stars to top directors, first ladies to bag ladies. All posed and revealed their best.” – Visalli.
