The World Theater in St. Paul Renamed the Fitzgerald Theater

In 1994, the World Theater in St. Paul, Minnesota, underwent a significant transformation when it was renamed the Fitzgerald Theater. This change was made to honor the renowned American author F. Scott Fitzgerald, who is celebrated for his literary contributions, particularly his novel 'The Great Gatsby.' The theater has a rich history as the home of the beloved radio broadcast 'A Prairie Home Companion,' which has entertained audiences with its unique blend of music, storytelling, and humor. The renaming of the theater not only pays tribute to Fitzgerald's legacy but also enhances the cultural landscape of St. Paul, making it a focal point for the arts and community events. The Fitzgerald Theater continues to host a variety of performances, including concerts, plays, and special events, ensuring that Fitzgerald's spirit lives on in the heart of the city. This venue stands as a testament to the enduring impact of literature and the arts in shaping community identity and fostering creativity. #mooflife #mof #MomentOfLife #FitzgeraldTheater #F.ScottFitzgerald #APrairieHomeCompanion #St.Paul #TheaterHistory
