I work at TCU and this theater was demolished in order to build the new campus bookstore.

The Frog had croaked I believe.

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.

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.

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 think so. Odd that the night club would have the same name and address.

So the July 2007 story was right.

These people also claim that the Frog has gone to amphibian heaven:

Here is a 2005 article about the Frog:

Here is a very recent site, so my guess is that the theater was not demolished last year:

This website has a photo of the Frog Theater (scroll down). It also claims that the Frog Theater was “Razed August, 2006”.
