Friday afternoon when the new Center for Performing Arts ceremonially opened in a renovated building at 41 West Main Street, the theater inside was revealed as the Mical Whitaker Black Box Theater. This was one of several revelations honoring contributors of talent to the Averitt Center for the Arts or money to its expansion campaign. So far the building itself has not been named for anyone “We still have other naming opportunities available,” Averitt Center Executive Director Tim Chapman said earlier this week.
