Our beloved Elvis Signature was on the wall in the third floor dressing room until March of 2008 During a performance and heavy rains on the roof created a flood, damaging the walls and the signature was immediately rescued (wet but intact). The Polk Theatre is in the process of raising funds for restoration.
