Proposals for the State Theater were reviewed at the Garden City Commission’s regular meeting Tuesday. At its Feb. 7 meeting the commission authorized the release of a request for proposals regarding future use of the State Theater building. A total of three proposals were received on April 26. One from Mark Pamplin, one from the Finney County Preservation Alliance in collaboration with Garden City High School and the final one from the Tumbleweed Festival. Pamplin proposed remodeling the building into a “into a state-of-the-art, 500-seat live entertainment venue” with a second floor to be use for rehearsal, storage and office space. The theater would be done as a theater-in-the-round with an adjustable theater, the ability to turn into a traditional theater by removing a section of seating.
