This was the theater I grew up with in Littleton, Colorado.

This was the classic formula of a neighborhood theater: First run movies, but kids movies and other things on the weekend.

I remember seeing the re-release of "The Ten Commandments" here, Disney films, James Bond movies, sci-fi movies. It had a nice little concession stand, and was just a great childhood memory.

It has been closed since at least the late-1970s; it is not divided into multiple units, the front part which was the lobby is now a beauty salon. At one point, a radio station operated on the top floor, KMOR, which must have been very small.

"As early as February 1955 the announcement had been made that an 800-seat movie theater would be built in the Woodlawn Shopping Center. It opened as the Fox Woodlawn Theater sometime between May 1956 and June 1956. It was the Woodlawn Theater when it closed, probably in the mid-1970s. Radio station KMOR was upstairs beside the theater in the 1960s".

Let us entertain you! Adventures in Dance has moved into the old Fox movie theatre space at Woodlawn Shopping center.

The stark brother's orchards were developed into the Woodlawn shopping center in 1955. by 1956 the 800 seat Fox Woodlawn theatre was announced, and opened it's doors by June of 1959. It entertained the community until the mid 1970's.

The original marquee is still on the front of the building, and it's lobby is now new creations hair salon. The top floor now houses the elegant Adventures in Dance, where you can now dance the Foxtrot, as well as many other social dances, in the old Fox cinema.
