Coronado Performing Arts Center: Rockford’s Crown Jewel
Even before the curtain rises on the stage of Rockford’s crown jewel, theatergoers are awestruck by a performance of another kind – the grandeur of the theater itself – thanks to the Friends of the Coronado (FOC), a nonprofit organization.
This group was formed 25 years ago to save and restore a one-of-a-kind historical building in downtown Rockford, while preserving the memories of its past and assuring its future. The result is a revived venue that’s entertaining a new generation.
