The City of Pana has purchased the iconic Roseland Theatre, extending the life of the single-screen theater that has shown current and first-run movies since 1941. Kirby Casner, the city's Director of Economic Development, says the buy addresses long-term needs in the historic downtown to support small businesses and uplift and expand the theater's offerings.

As for what's next for Roseland Theatre, Casner says the public can expect the same management, staff, and pricing. Casner also shares the possibilities of more programming like live events and community theater.

Casner hopes that this revitalization will add to Pana's economic development by preserving the rich history and inspiring more movement across the city.
