Rogers Theatre

In 1982, the Rogers theater had it’s 45th anniversary engagement: a double feature of Time Bandits and White Heat. For this double feature, admission was pushed back to ten cents per ticket and popcorn was also available at highly discounted prices.

But the patrons in this picture didn’t realize that, at the time, a scene like this would soon be relatively short lived. Less than 2 years later, the Rogers closed it’s doors forever, after the engagement of the film Purple Rain, in the summer of 1984.
