Fundraiser!
Spring Jam with Sweet Misery
Saturday Evening, May 11
On-line tickets sales have concluded. Limited number of seats available on a first come-first serve basis at the door beginning at 7pm.
A high energy, dancing-oriented rock and roll concert is on tap for the third in a series of Tecumseh Theater fundraiser concerts this year. Sweet Misery visits the Commons at 8PM on Saturday evening, May 11. Perhaps a night out in Shawnee would be the perfect gift for your mother this year! This band delivers a diverse range of music from classic rock favorites to modern hard rocking hits. Members of Sweet Misery have worked together in previous projects contributing to over 30 years of combined playing experience together.
The concert series is helping the building’s owner, the non-profit Sunday Creek Associates, to keep up with mortgage payments, make equipment improvements to the first floor Tecumseh Commons, and lay the groundwork for the restoration of the main opera house style theater located upstairs above the Commons space. Come early to the concert for a tour of the upstairs space as well as to enjoy good food and cold beer.

Thank you for alertng us to the knowledge that tells us the Tecumseh theater is finally being used. I’m pretty sure that I saw “Gone With the wind” in that theater when it first came out That was many years ago. Are they also using the large lounge and rest rooms? I remember it all, down to the large roasted peanuts we got on our banana splits from the restaurant. I live in Indpls., Indiana and don’t get to see Ohio relatives very often. If I’m ever there at your show time, I’ll do my best to return back to the olde days. I wish you all a very successful journey, and THANK YOU for all the renovation work. Good Luck to all!

Thanks for your nice comments Bernice! Yes, the entire first floor is now in use, although probably not as you remember it. The Hannah family is certainly a Shawnee treasure and if it had not been for their furniture store and the buildings they’ve maintained, Shawnee’s Main Street would not be the treasure that it is!
