Comments about Cinema 4 in Dormont, PA

Here are some pictures of the Cinema 4 (I think it used to be called the South Hills Theater as well)

It needs some TLC, but can defenitely be reusable. I’m guessing the theater has been closed for about 5 years, since “Along Came a Spider” was released in 2001.

Both the Cinema 4 and the Hollywood theaters in Dormont are ripe for revitalization. Dormont is a safe, established community (incorporated in 1909) with affordable and attractive older houses and easy access to the downtown Pittsburgh business community. In recent years it has been attracting younger residents because of these reasons. Yes, parking is somewhat of a problem but not impossible. The area is also incredibly accessible by public transportation. There are also numerous apartments & duplex rentals resulting in a high concentration of residents – who tend to patronize local businesses. Either of these could be a real money maker for someone with a little imagination and initiative.

I was at that show as well. Savatage opened for both Nuclear Assault and Testament. I think that may have been the last show at the South Hills Theater. I pass the theater every day and it breaks my heart to see it sit unused.

Ahhh the old South Hills Theater. I had wonder concert experience back in 1989 when Nuclear Assault opened for Testament. Good times. A piece of my childhood died one evening when I doing the Dormont crawl and saw that C4 was condemned. Ahhh, good times.

Is there a chance any pictures of the original auditorium exist?

It is the South Hills theater, and was until the early 90’s, I believe.

Could this have been originally the “South Hills” theater in Dormont, Circa 1927-8?
