Burley Theatre
Recent exterior view of the Burley Theatre (taken July 2002)

This wonderful single screen theater, located in downtown Burley, was originally a vaudeville house.

Amazingly, it has survived quite well. The original stage is completely intact, including barely used scenery flats that are still hanging from the rafters. The theater's original lighting dimmer panel is also still intact and functioning. The theater's facade, which was restored in 1991, is mostly original as well.

In 2001, rocking chair seats from nearby Century Cinemas 5 were installed in the theater's auditorium. The projection booth, only accessible by ladder, supports mono sound and runs with a Motiograph AA projector.

The Burley Theatre seated 792 originally and was operated by Harris-Voeller Theatres until 1985.
