Lumberton has a very large Native American population. When segregated theaters were still the norm this theater was segregated three ways. Downstairs was for Whites, and the balcony was split down the middle with a chain link fence with Blacks on one side and Native Americans on the other.

In addition, the theater is also running a fall series of classic films. There's a story about the series here: http://www.fayobserver.com/Articles/2009/09/06/930690
