Temple Theatre celebrates 100 years
What began as a vaudeville stage and silent film house in 1925 has evolved into one of the most beloved and respected regional theaters in the country.

(Warnock won a full term in 2022 against Republican candidate Herschel Walker, the only statewide Democrat to win in Georgia during the midterms that year.)
