Opened in 1941, the Ganado Cinema is a classic theater that operates today in downtown Ganado, Texas, a small town 30 miles northeast of Victoria. It has modern seating and sound equipment, but still has the ambience of an antique theater. The Ganado Cinema is currently the only operating movie theater in Jackson County, Texas.

The Ganado Theater is truley a “treasure” and Ganado is lucky to have Alvin perserve so many memories for so many of us. Born and raised in Ganado I have soooo many fond memories of the theater – 20 cents to get in – stayed all day – my girlfriends mother would send us sandwiches and Ms. Stahla (manager) calling your parents when you were acting up and asking them to come and get you!! – and who can forget your first romance and kiss at the theater!!!
Thanks Alvin! – oh yeah and when you visit don’t forget to get a hot dog and ask for saurkraut on it, because it’s homemade by Alvin! – now that’s a treat!!!

The Ganado Theatre opened in 1941, hasn’t changed much from the 1984 photo to the current photo other than some minor changes to the marquee.
A new sign is on the way to the Ganado. It is expected to be installed late Nov. 09. Check out this newspaper article in the Victoria Advocate. 10/28/09

I know a lot of you dislike seeing a new movie in a theater (rude audience,price,quality of modern films,cost of gas etc) But hopefully those of you nearby will support the owner who wiped out his life savings to stay a first run house by patronising the Ganado when you can.
