JASPER -- We’re learning more today about planned renovations at the Jasper 8 movie theatre.

The local venue was sold last week to Evansville-based North Park Cinemas.

The new owners plan to add reclining seats, renovate the lobby and concession stands and change flooring, hallways and signage throughout the building.

There will also be a bar and lounge area added where beer and wine will be sold.

The renovations are expected to begin early next year.
