This is the website for the Carolina Civic Center. The only information currently on their site is the planned re-opening in July 2007.

Lumberton has a very large Native American population. When segregated theaters were still the norm this theater was segregated three ways. Downstairs was for Whites, and the balcony was split down the middle with a chain link fence with Blacks on one side and Native Americans on the other.
