LIBERTY THEATER ANNEX

TEAM: SO Studio
CLIENT: Private
LOCATION: Eunice, Louisiana 
COMPLETION: 2023

The Liberty Theater opened in 1924. It served for decades as a cultural hub for Acadiana and beyond as the region’s preeminent theater and movie palace. After an initial closure in the 1980s, it reopened for live performances including the world-famous Rendez Vous des Cajuns radio and television program, until closing once more in 2020.

SO Studio worked with stakeholders and the National Park Service to restore the second-floor spaces facing the street into residential space for the building’s caretakers. The full Liberty Center is anticipated to open to the public in 2024.
