Theater Model Complete
The Friends have a friend, Charlie Moran, who has built an architecturally accurate model of the façade of the Cerrito Theater, including the soon-to-be re-built marquee and blade with “CERRITO” spelled out in neon.
Charlie is recognized throughout the region for his model-making skills and attention to detail. He is currently assisting at “Playland Not-At-The-Beach” in El Cerrito and has worked on aircraft reconstruction at Travis Air Museum at Travis Air Force Base, near Fairfield, CA. Two years ago, he won a Blue Ribbon in the California State Fair model competition for a model he constructed of the old San Lorenzo Theater in San Lorenzo, CA. His success inspired him to contact us about building a model of the Cerrito.
The Cerrito Theater model will be his entry in this year’s State Fair competition. The model will be seen by thousands of people from around the state throughout the various stages of the competition (audition, judging and display). Before and after these competition events, the model will be on display locally. We are working on arrangements to display it at several public locations. We’ll let you know when and where you can take a look.
