Don Elzer, right, is renovating a former movie theater in East Palestine for use as a community theater. He and his son Dan Elzer, left, are shown in the theater. They are part of the East Palestine Community Theater group, which tentatively plans to open the theater early next month. After opening with “South Pacific” and “The Wizard of Oz” this spring and summer, the group plans a full season of productions in 2010-11.
