A charming facade on a charming little stretch of road in the hamlet of Avondale Estates. There is very little known as to when this theatre opened and went it ceased operation. The Towne doesn’t appear in the theatre listing in any of the city telephone or business directories between 1969-1980.

I worked there as a kid when the host of WPBS show CINEMA SHOWCASE and CREATIVE LOAFING film critic JIM WHALEY reopened and managed it. Unfortunately, the projection was not what it should have been. The film he launched the re-opening was OLIVER! Later I remember seeing both DOCTOR DOLITTLE there and CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG.
