  Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Waynesboro 
Community Theatre Project, Inc. and highlight the successful campaign 
to rebuild and reopen a long treasured local cinema.
   Following an inspired beginning, the Waynesboro Community Theatre 
Project, Inc. maintained a determined campaign to raise the money 
necessary to renovate and reopen the Waynesboro Theatre. Thanks to its 
persistent efforts and generous donors, the historic theatre will again 
fulfill its roles as a local economic generator and a quality 
entertainment venue for the Waynesboro community.
   Additionally, I believe this project represents a community effort 
in the truest sense, as many have worked together to see this effort 
through to completion. The theatre will reopen with impressive 
renovations, including new seats, an upgraded lobby and concession 
area, and modern sound and visual technologies. The project will 
provide fundamental support in keeping downtown Waynesboro vibrant and 
welcoming.
   The Waynesboro Theatre is beloved by the community and I commend all 
who have put time, effort, and donations into bringing the theatre back 
to the public. Today I congratulate the Waynesboro Community Theatre 
Project, Inc. for the completion of this impressive effort to improve 
the Waynesboro community.
