Leave a Legacy
In 1902, when the Colonial Theatre’s founder, Harry Brownback, lifted the curtain on its stage for the very first time, he could not have imagined that his modest dream to bring renowned entertainers and films to his community would persist for over a century. Through two World Wars, countless technological changes, two pandemics, and the loss of Phoenix Steel Company, Brownback’s theatre continues to glow.
His investment has enlivened the lives of hundreds of thousands with film and the performing arts – but not without the added generosity, passion, and commitment from similarly visionary patrons.
