As the Georgia Theatre gears up for its grand re-opening this summer after a fire nearly destroyed it in June 2009, CWPR is looking forward to helping with ongoing fundraising efforts and executing a public relations campaign surrounding the official grand re-opening festivities for the cherished institution that has played host to such notable artists as B.B.
