Marquee Message

Know someone who would love to see their name in lights?

The bright lights of The Franklin Theatre marquee first illuminated Main Street over 80 years ago inviting visitors inside to laugh, cry and dream. Box office hits, classic movie titles and the names of world-renowned music performers have all shone bright on the marquee. Hundreds of events turned into holiday traditions, date nights and first kisses, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. We want to see many more years of making lifetime memories at this historic landmark in downtown Franklin. Help us reopen the doors by making the marquee YOURS. For a $100 donation, you can display a personal message for the day. Know someone with a birthday coming up? Anniversary? Tell that special someone “Congratulations!”
