The Reg Lenna Center for the Arts is a restored 1923 theater used as a community center for the performing arts in Jamestown, New York. The center is named after a notable local resident Reginald Lenna who donated $1 million to begin restoration work in 1987.[1]
In 2019, a $4.5 million renovation to the center expanded the complex to seven connected buildings. This work included the lobby, a new box office and concession stand, a relocated art gallery, a consolidated workspace for staff, and structural improvements. The Reg's low power radio station, WRFA, was expanded into a multimedia studio on the third floor.[2]
