Kelly Strayhorn Theater celebrated 100 years of the Regent Theatre—the building KST calls home—with a community day celebration and a toast. KST also allowed guests to participate in  “Capsule 15206,” a time capsule where patrons submitted their favorite memories of the neighborhood.

PEOPLE MAKING MEMORABILIA FOR THE CAPSULE

Residents and friends of the community were welcomed to join KST in celebrating the Regent Theatre centennial on Oct. 11 and beyond at the theater’s Penn Avenue location in East Liberty.

Patrons enjoyed family-friendly entertainment by Soundwaves Steelband and the YWCA Lighthouse Project, toured the historic building, and added memories to the time capsule.
