Friends of Gem Theater is asking the community to help rehabilitate and reopen the Gem Theater in Pioche by supporting Senate Bill 101 at the Nevada Legislature.
The legislation provides the full funding amount the nonprofit needs to repair and rehabilitate the building to reopen as a movie theater again.
