The restoration of noted architect John Eberson’s historic 1938 Silver Theatre now is home to two stadium theatres, office and meeting space and reception and exhibit areas.

At the ceremonies in Rockville, County Executive Leggett recalled one of his goals for the historic theatre, which brought smiles from, left to right: Shayla Hines, Tiffany Graham-Golden and Emily Wise Vander-Woude of AFI; Councilmember Valerie Ervin and Nancy Floreen; AFI Director Ray Barry; and AFI’s Todd Hitchcock.
