The trustees of a southwestern Indiana university have voted to expand a performing arts center dedicated to late comic Red Skelton.
The Vincennes University Board of Trustees on Wednesday approved a plan to build a 7,200-square-foot expansion to the Red Skelton Performing Arts Center.
The board voted to accept a $4 million donation from Lothian Skelton, the widow of the comic and Vincennes native, that will pay for most of the estimated $4.6 million cost of the project, the Vincennes Sun-Commercial reported.
The expanded space will be used as a gallery, an event space and new archival areas.
