The TCU Theatre was built in late-1949. It later became the Stage West Theatre. Stage West closed around 2003.
Renamed the Frog Theatre, it became a cafe, a deli, a live performance venue and screened occasional movies. The Frog Theatre was demolished in around 2006.

So the July 2007 story was right.
I think so. Odd that the night club would have the same name and address.
This was the last known location of the Frog. When you click on events, they advertise a New Years Eve party for 12/31/2007. They also had a Halloween party in 2007. Something isn’t right. Maybe the Frog isn’t dead.
I assure you this theatre is not only closed but gone completely… I was shocked to drive up University Drive and see a brand new drugstore standing where this majestic theatre once stood.

here is a picture of the theatre when it was Stage West
The August 11, 1945, issue of Boxoffice Magazine announced that permission to build the TCU Theatre had been granted by the War Production Board. Construction was to begin as soon as plans were completed and materials could be procured. Plans for the new independent house, owned by W.V. Adwell and A.J. Wylie, were being drawn by architect Jack Corgan.
The Frog had croaked I believe.
I work at TCU and this theater was demolished in order to build the new campus bookstore.
Header should be changed to Dlosed/Demolished.
