Looking Up at the Lumina Theatre

Feel like someone's watching as you enter the Lumina Theatre in Southern Village? Turns out the silhouette of the dapper couple perched atop the theater's neon sign is not original art as some might have suspected. The couple and the other two vignettes are prefab sculptures added several years ago to add charm to the village, according to Southern Village Bryan Properties management. The Lumina Theatre opened in 2000 in the town center of Southern Village, which has been dubbed "the new old town" and lauded for its new urbanism design.
