*Omaha guitar maker, John Hargiss, bought the historic building for his guitar shop. His plan was to fix it up the way in which he fixes guitars. However, he never planned on discovering something truly magical hidden within the building… an old vaudeville theater dating back over 100 years. Hargiss knew immediately the right thing to do would be to restore the theater. Since then, he has experienced many weird and unexplainable strange things surrounding the theater. This is your chance to come see it for yourself… ..if you dare.
