Opened as the Prewitt Theatre on November 23, 1927 seating 400. It was built on the site of the storefront Princess Theatre that closed in 1924. The theatre was built by Mr. L. M. Prewitt who was also the architect.
When the theatre was remodeled and re-opened in 1970 as the Cinema West showing X rated movies it was met with strong disapproval from the residents of Plainfield. The X rated films didn’t last long.
The theatre went through a couple name changes and finally became known as the Village West playing mainstream pictures.
