The Tivoli Theatre is a former movie house that has been restored for live entertainment including comedians, musicians and live entertainment.
The front facade has been painted a leaf green with a large vertical down the middle with “Tivoli” in blocks on each side and rows of flashing bulbs on the back side. The V shaped marquee is used to announce upcoming shows.
