The Aztec, located on Main Street at First Street in Albany, after decades of serving as a movie house is today home to the Albany Main Street Players. The Aztec hosts legitimate theater and various other live performances.
Any further information on this theater would be appreciated.

Frank Whitney built the original Aztec Theatre in 1927 as a counterpart to his Ritz Theatre, further south on Main Street. As noted in the Albany News, Jun 24, 1927,
The new theatre is to be a stucco building of Spanish design…The new show building will feature western pictures and the Ritz will show only the very latest and best pictures on the market.
More information can be found here.
In the 1940’s the theatre was operated by Leon Theatres and later by Frontier Theatres. Closed in 1977.
