The restored Fourth Street Theatre will be a core attraction to downtown Moberly as well as provide community and economic development for the entire area.
The Vision for the Fourth Street Theatre is:
Volunteers have been working inside the theatre to reduce the cost of restoration. They have wielded hammers and other tools tearing down plaster and framework. They have taken up old carpeting and floors. They are working with the vision of seeing the restoration becoming a reality. They will also help with the finishing work. The cost of the entire project is one million dollars. So far they have reduced the cost considerably.
Funding: Join us in this adventure of bringing back to life one of the oldest historic vaudeville/movie houses in the country. Fundraising continues in the way of individual contributions from organizations and groups, grants and event fundraisers.

All contributions are tax deductible.
Update on Restoration
The restoration is in progress with the stage house being rebuilt, exterior terra cotta restoration finished, tuck pointing of the brick completed, needed demolition on the inside completed and the concrete poured on the inside with the floor being completed. The contractor will now be starting on the entry way, the windows and working on the stage area. Volunteers are also working.
The goal is to complete the restoration in 2007. Over one half of the funds have been raised, so fundraising continues with all contributions greatly appreciated.
