The marquee outside the Lompoc Theatre | Credit: Courtesy The restoration of the Lompoc Theatre got a nice shot in the arm this week when the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians Foundation announced a $150,000 matching-grant commitment to the project, which will restore the city's nearly 100-year-old venue. With an aim to reopen the theater to bring movies, concerts, and other live performances back to the venue, Executive Director Mark Herrier and his 13-member board of directors have been working hard since 2012 to raise the $10 million needed to bring the project back to life.
