The City team joined Mayor Allegood and Acworth Cultural Arts on Thursday, January 15, for a ribbon cutting celebrating the grand opening of the Rena Henton Theatre at the Roberts School Community and Education Center.
The new black box theater is named after beloved Acworth resident, Rena Henton, who lived in her home on Cherokee Street for over 70 years before it was tragically destroyed by fire in 1988. Remembered as a familiar and caring presence to so many in the community, her story, resilience, and lasting impact on the quality of life in Acworth will be remembered for generations to come.
