HOLTON Central Elementary School looks like any regular school building with its long hallways, classrooms and cafeteria. The one element it has been missing since it closed in 2018 is people.
But that is starting to change. In October 2020, Holton Community Theatre was gifted the school to use as its new home.
Since then, Shannon Wittmer, HCT founder and creative director, and board members have been working to renovate the space and transform it into a place that can be used by the theater company and serve as a community hub.
Renovations on the stage and exterior started shortly after the acquisition and will continue through the fall.
