Students of the McCallum Fine Arts School showed off their talents under the lights of a newly built theater.

Despite broken windows discovered earlier this week, the McCallum Arts Center opened its doors Friday.

The new space has room for an audience of 500, plus a gallery and scene shop.

“A lot of things happen in this town because of our kids and the government, but this building is a tribute to our parents," Council member Sheryl Cole said.

Voters approved the $9.4 million building as part of a bond package back in 2008.
