Renovations are complete on the Hanson Theatre on the Lake Michigan College campus in Benton Harbor. LMC will host a rededication ceremony next weekend at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, February 16 to celebrate. The Hanson Family Foundation and Merlin and Carolyn Hanson, for whom the theatre is named, helped to fund the over $600,000 in improvements to the facility. Those upgrades include new paint, carpet, seating and curtains along with a variety of acoustic and sound improvements. Work was also done to upgrade the theatre’s electrical and internet infrastructure, install new light and sound boards and new rigging and catwalks. LMC President Dr. Trevor Kubatzke and the LMC Board of Trustees will be joined by the Visual & Performing Arts Department to cut the ribbon on the newly-redone theatre. LMC’s acapella group, Soundwaves, will also perform.
