former Lerner Theatre
Elkhart, IN

2025:
The Lerner Theatre opened in 1924 with vaudeville and film. From 1931-1934, it operated as the Warner Theatre. It then became the Elco Theatre and a new marquee was installed. In 1996, restoration work began and the theatre was converted into the Elco Performing Arts Center. By 2011, the marquee was removed and replaced and it was named the Lerner Theatre again. A new blade sign with bulbs was also installed. It is somewhat similar but smaller than the blade sign that was on the building when it was the Warner Theatre. I don't think the Lerner Theatre had such a sign originally. A set of the Elco neon and bulb letters were restored and are displayed in the window. For more, see this website. [map]

After renovations, it reopened in 1999 as a performing arts center. This blade sign was installed in 2023. It was modeled after the much larger original sign. For more, see this website. [map]
