This theater opened in the 1930s and was popular for two decades until the downtown area began to deteriorate. The theater closed in the early 1950s and was vacant and in disrepair until purchased by Russell Cain in 1983. Mr. Cain then donated the theater to a local committee which began renovation. The theater re-opened in 1994 and has been used for live performances, fashion shows and concerts since that time.
