On the first episode of What’s Next?, Reeves Kirtner sits down with the leadership of the Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center to talk about the restoration of one of our region’s most iconic landmarks. The nearly 100-year-old theater has undergone a $30 million renovation, bringing new life to a historic space while preserving its character and legacy.

It’s a story about preservation, community investment, and believing in what’s possible.
