This podcast is a visit with Emily Bell of the management company operating downtown Bryan's Palace Theater for the city of Bryan, and WTAW's Ian Curtis.

The Palace Theater event venue in downtown Bryan reopens next week following renovations.

The marketing director for the management company hired to run the Palace for the city of Bryan says they plan to host concerts every weekend.

Emily Bell also says there will be free performances on First Fridays, beginning with the reopening on August 4.

Bell says changes to the facility included adding a cantina, upgrading seating, adding a turf floor, and replacing the overhead canopy.
