The historic St. James Calderone Theatre has been a cultural pillar in its namesake town since first opening in 1925. Built by the Calderone family during the heyday of their movie theater chain, the venue hosted vaudeville, films, and concerts in its early days. In the 1960s, it served as a television studio before falling into decline by the 1980s. Saved from demolition by Celebrate St. James community group, the theater underwent renovation in 1999 and reopened as a premiere space for concerts, theater, and art exhibitions. We feel privileged to utilize our resources in preserving this cherished community treasure. By helping restore the Calderone Theatre’s magnificence, we play a part in enriching the cultural spirit of St. James for generations to come.
