Marfa's Historic Palace Theater Poised for Revitalization by Filmmaker Couple
The historic Palace Theater in downtown Marfa, Texas, is set to undergo a significant revitalization project. The theater, originally built in 1905, has been largely gutted, leaving its interior as a concrete shell despite its recognizable green sign and awning. Filmmakers Anna Rau and Corbett Jones, who are married and divide their time between Marfa and Austin, have acquired the property with an ambitious vision to restore it. The couple reportedly 'pounced' on the opportunity when the property became available, indicating their strong commitment to the project. This initiative aims to breathe new life into a long-dormant cultural landmark in the West Texas town, known for its artistic and mysterious allure. The project signifies a potential boost to Marfa's cultural landscape, offering a new venue for community engagement and artistic expression.
