Warner Theatre (Erie, Pennsylvania)

The Warner Theatre is an Art Deco and French Renaissance-styled theater located in downtown Erie, Pennsylvania in the United States.

The theater features a 65-foot-by-28-foot proscenium stage and is complemented by crushed velour, gold and silver leaf, and gold-backed French mirrors.

In 1992, the Warner Theatre became the highest priority of the local Metro Cultural Planning Committee, an arm of the Erie Area Fund for the Arts.

The committee received a grant from Erie County in 1993 to develop a Master Plan, at which point members began to seek support from state legislators.

Daniel P. Coffey and Associates, LTD of Chicago, Illinois [1] and Crowner/King of Erie were selected to head the renovation project in September 1998.
