To our community đź’™
We want to take a moment to say thank you—truly—to our community and the surrounding communities, and to every single person who has helped make the Kallet Theater what it has been through the years. This place has always been more than a building. It’s been shaped by the people inside it and behind the scenes.
From our longtime workers and bartenders, to our ushers who have been here since the very beginning and have been a major part of the Kallet’s success, to John in the kitchen, Kim in the office, our vendors, construction crews, technicians, and the many hands that have quietly kept things running—your time, dedication, and care have never gone unnoticed. You are part of the Kallet’s story.
We also deeply appreciate everyone’s understanding and patience right now. This moment is a personal journey for our family, and the kindness, respect, and support shown by this community means more than we can put into words.
To avoid any confusion, I’ll be serving as the main point of contact for the Kallet Theater during this time. If you have questions, ideas, or would like to discuss opportunities, you can reach me directly at 315-298-0007 or by email at amclaughlin@kallettheater.com.
What we can say is this: those who know my father know he has never allowed anything he owns—or anything he loves—to fall apart. That hasn’t changed.
This theater has always been about connection, memories, and community—and that continues. Please know how grateful we are for your patience, your loyalty, and the many stories you’ve shared with us over the years. We’re looking forward to what’s ahead and will keep you posted as we move forward together.
With sincere appreciation,
Amy McLaughlin
On behalf of my father, Vince Lobdell, and the Lobdell family đźŽ
