Love Me Tender

The goal of the Friends of the Von Theatre is to restore and update the Von Theatre and make it available to the community for small musical presentations, recitals, and performances as well as graduation ceremonies and a home for local dramatic theater groups. The Mississippi Hall of Fame is also planned to be housed in the renovated theater complex.

Your assistance, participation, and financial support in this vital and historic project is greatly encouraged and quite necessary to restore the grand dame of The Heart of Hernando.

As we progress down the road to restoring the The Von Theatre, more specifics will be in place on this website, namely:
