This theatre was home of live entertainment, the Carolina Barn Dance, and "silver screen" films in the 40s and 50s in Spruce Pine, NC. Performers such as Patsy Cline, Bill Monroe, Hank Snow, Sonny James, Kitty Wells, Chet Atkins, String Bean, Scotty and Lula Belle Wiseman, and Fiddlin' Red Wilson performed here.

Currently the theatre is a 501(c)(3) and in need of donated film and theatre items for our lobby museum, curtains, lighting and equipment, and more to see that this theatre continues to make memories and live on in history.
