Save the Webster
The Webster Theater was built in 1906 and is a cornerstone in the small rural community of Webster City, Iowa. The theater's history begins as a vaudeville theater in 1909 and recently, in the spring of 2013, ends when the corporate owners filed bankruptcy and closed the theater. The closing of small-town theaters is rumored to be not so uncommon in the industry. Yet … yet, there is still a vibrant market that wants to go to the movies. Help Entertain and Restore Organization (HERO), a community organized non-profit, is committed to opening the Webster City Movie Theater once again. HERO has a three-stage plan to raise funds necessary to purchase the theater and upgrade the equipment so the theater can re-open and become a cornerstone for Webster City's downtown once again.
