The Clark Theater opened in 1926. By 1941, it had been renamed Vacaville Theater. It underwent some improvements in 1952, by San Francisco based architect/designer Gale Santocono.
In the early 1960’s, this theater was part of the West Side-Valley Theater chain.

The moviechurches.org website is actually in Swedish.
Post it anyway.
An address search returns “New Life Productions” which is listed as a private school.
This is a 1986 photo.

Does anyone know anything further about it’s possible relation to the Strand Theatre, which preceded it in Vacaville?
I was in Vacaville on 4/14/2011 and was pleased to see the theater is still standing. It is closed, and there is paper on all of the lobby doors/windows. I was able to see into the box office, through to the office just off of the concession stand, and it does not appear that any work is going on inside.
I worked at this theater briefly around 1990, At that time the tenant, Ken Stumpf, was seeking funding to purchase and renovate the theater, but he never got it so he closed the place up.
I have photos, but the photo upload feature for this site appears to be iin upgrade mode, so I can’t add any of them.
You’ll all be pleased to know that this theater is coming back to life, again. It has been gutted, and I hope plans are to restore the old girl to original as possible. It will bare the name “Theater DeVille”. The 1952 facade appears to be in the process of being removed. Anything else at this time would be a pure guess. More later…..
