PEORIA – The Scottish Rite Cathedral is nearly ready for its second act.
KDB Group, which purchased the historic Peoria building in 2019, is putting the finishing touches on its extensive $5 million restoration of the city’s newest performing arts venue.
Numerous local performance groups have expressed interest in using the historic building, said Jenny Parkhurst, performing arts director for KDB Group, who hopes to attract everything from traveling road shows to local community fundraising events and weddings into the venue.
“Our grand opening will be announced in the near future, and we will have a kind of community welcome into the building,” said Parkhurst. “We will invite the public to come in and take a tour, and at that time will announce our programing for the year.”
