No need to whisper, the secret is out. The former Wehrenberg Theatre on Council Street in Cedar Rapids is undergoing a major renovation.

Marcus Theatres acquired the Wehrenberg in December. The new owner is now installing what are called "DreamLoungers." The seats are basically recliners that'll be placed in all of the theatres there-- finishing up in early 2018.

The seats move at the touch of a button, have double the leg room, and can be reserved ahead of time. Officials said a few of the theaters will be ready for the holidays.

"Folks are going to be able to have the best new movie-going experience possible for the holiday blockbusters, like 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' and 'Pitch Perfect 3.'"

Right now, crews are installing the seats in six of the facility's 16 screening rooms. The theater will stay open through the renovations.
