Waterfront Historic Area League

New Bedford's newly-renovated Steeple Playhouse on William Street, also known as the historic First Baptist Church, opened its doors last month.

New Bedford's long-dormant Capitol Theater is set to undergo a restoration project that will convert the former movie house into a mixed-use facility.

The event is sponsored by the New Bedford Community Economic Development Center, an organization that's been part of the North End for many years.
