The restoration was completed in the year 1987 and the venue was then re-opened as the Benedum Center. Billboard, a weekly American magazine devoted to the music industry ranked the Center as the "Number One Auditorium in the U.S." "The former Stanley Theater, opened in 1928 and designed by the firm of Hoffman & Henon, was restored and renovated as the Benedum Center for the Performing Arts in the late 1980s. In converting the theater into a full performing arts center, a new stage house and supporting building at the rear of the theater was erected. The interior of the theater was maintained and restored to its original beauty."
