Past Fundraiser
The Downtown Centralia Illinois Theatre is holding several fund raising events to help with the renovation of this icon of Downtown Centralia. See the list of coming events.

The Epics, currently playing throughout Southern Illinois and Missouri, performed sixties “Rock n Roll” music at a fundraiser in November, 2007. They are one of the few groups that do the “sixties” and are “sixty years old”. They were all students at Centralia High School and they began to play for fun throughout Southern Illinois from 1964 to 1967 and became one of the premier bands the “Garage Band Era”.

Their love for music has not waned, and they perform as if they were seventeen again. The one big difference in the group is their equipment is better than it has ever been. The group includes Mike Garrison, Fred Smith, Steve Kinder, Harold Stover, & Don Griner.

Blackjack tables and prizes were also a featured part of the entertainment for the evening. All proceeds from this event and future events are to benefit the Illinois Theatre restoration project. Please view our coming events.
