Wichita Association Of The Deaf

The Historic Dunbar Theatre in Wichita, KS, originally opened in 1941 as a beacon of community and culture for African-Americans in a segregated city. Currently undergoing renovation by the Power Community Development Corporation, the theatre aims to once again serve as a vibrant cultural performing arts center and anchor for the McAdams Neighborhood Revitalization Plan. With plans to expand into a full Dunbar District, the revitalization project envisions a restored movie theater, black-box theater, educational facilities, public gallery, bookstore, and community meeting space. The goal is to bring life back to the neighborhood through retail spaces, services, and community events, preserving the theatre's rich history and African-American heritage.Generated from the website
