PROJECT UPDATE: NeSmith Auditorium

The Jack & Muriel Strickland Arts & Cultural Center will boast a restored 1920’s performing arts auditorium. Restoration efforts will include an enlarged stage, updated seating, state-of-the-art sound and lighting, and 267 seats. The auditorium is named for Joyce O. NeSmith, a well-respected and endeared principal who worked in this building for over 30 years.

Restoration and operation will be partnered with the Evans County Charter School System and will be the home of the district’s Fine Arts performances. The space will also be available for rent for community events. The size of the auditorium and ample parking will make the NeSmith Auditorium an attractive option for Evans and surrounding counties.
