ROANOKE, VA (August 21, 2018) – In celebration of the Grandin Theatre’s 85th Anniversary celebration year, the Grandin Theatre Foundation and HomeTown Bank are announcing a new box office partnership. Beginning in 2018, and lasting through 2022, HomeTown Bank will support the box office and front of house efforts of the Grandin Theatre over the next five years. In return for their support, HomeTown Bank will logo brand all box office tickets, have a custom sign above the box office indicating their support, and have a star installed on the famous sidewalk in front of the Theatre, the Grandin “Walk of Fame”.

“We are very excited about this partnership and how well HomeTown Bank’s values align with the values of the Foundation –local theatre and local banking,” said Grandin Theatre Foundation Executive Director Ian Fortier. “This partnership is a major validation for the efforts we have made in the past few years rebranding ourselves as a cultural community center where everyone in our community is welcome and encouraged to utilize and find inspiration at this historic landmark.”
