The Friends For La Plata Preservation have recently purchased the Green Theater in La Plata, MO. The theater opened in 1936 and closed it’s doors for good in 1985. The building still has most of the original fixtures inside. Our preservation group hopes to get the building listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and then renovate it back to the way it was in 1936.

Opening date was March 7, 1936 according to this website.
My grandfather’s theatre (V.G. Green)…I spent many a summer’s evening working the consessions with him or sitting on my grandmother’s lap in the ticket booth passing out admission.
Here is a February 2009 article about ongoing renovation in La Plata:
