Description
2014 Crystal Theatre 5k Run:
The Crystal Theatre was built in Okemah in 1921.
Ten years later, with the advent of talking pictures, the theatre was remodeled in the Atmospheric-style with floating clouds, twinkling stars, stained glass lights and cut-velvet upholstered seats.
The Crystal continued as a movie house for four decades and then into the twenty-first century when it closed.
Save theCrystal Theatre is a project of the Okemah Community Improvement Association.
Proceeds from the race will go to restore this historic theatrical landmark.
