The Cascade Theatre is the center of the Cultural heart of Redding and Shasta County, California. Providing us with a wonderful historical building for many events and activites for our local area. It is always fun to visit and I'm usually not visiting but photographing the art deco motif.
The Cascade Theatre is one of those rare historical buildings that the City of Redding rather than demolish decided to save and restore. We have lost so many of these treasures that it is a celebration that one has been saved. The result is hard to describe. We simlply don't have the art deco splendor in this day and age.
This is the Cascade Theatre in the heart of the downtown area of Redding. We are walking back to the theatre after the Sundial Coctail Party.
This is one of the Art Deco Light Fixtures in the high ceiling of the auditorium I was facinated to see such beautiful detail everywhere I looked.

Back of the Theatre as you exit to the Lobby! What a wonderful restoration project for Redding. The Cascade is truly our cultural center. We are looking forward to the Sundial Film Festival again this coming March. I have a new camera and we'll do another study in Art Deco and the Cascade Theatre! I love it!

It was worth saving it. Looks like a great place !
Jeanean: This is absolutely wonderful -- so much painstaking work; it must have truly been a labor of love. I had a girlfriend in grade school whose grandparents lived in another town about 60 miles away and I was invited to go for a weekend visit. Imagine my delight when we arrived and I discovered they owned the local downtown theater and lived above it! I truly thought things just couldn't get much better. Thanks for bringing back such warm, happy memories!
Richard, thanks for the visit. Yes, it rather amazing.
Tish, thanks for the visit. I'm a big fan of cultural things that stir the heart. The Cascade itself does that for me but it also enhances the entire cultural life of our area with many wonderful events that support the Arts in general. Have a great Saturday and I'm glad we can all be part of learning about our cultural backgrounds.
