I’m trying to figure out how to decorate my office this fall – it’s basically a bare room with a computer right now – So some historic theatre seats from Butler’s Strand Theater at Theater Seat Auction Open House tonight at 6 pm are pretty tempting. The seats are divided in to sets of 1, 2, 3 or 4 seats. Proceeds from the auction will benefit The Strand's ongoing renovation as a performing arts, education and community outreach center. For more information call Ron Carter at (724) 742-0400.
