Once known as the Princeton One Dollar Theatre.

The independent Princeton Theaters Company opened the 75x150ft Princeton Theater on July 21, 1948 with Abbott and Costello’s “The Noose Hangs High”. This temporarily replaced the older Princeton Theatre down the road.

The city (presumably) has made a real effort to undo the godawful remodel, and this has been open as a performing arts venue since at least 2016. It is home to the Broadway Players. When I came through, the marquee was advertising ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels’, but I’m not sure if that was the film or a stage production.

Note that the interior picture is of the wrong theater. It is obviously not an auditorium built after WWII. Probably belongs with the previous Princeton.

It is now an AMC operation. The City of Princeton is offering another theater operator $200,000 in incentives to build another theater as the city is fearful that AMC will close this theater in about a year: View link
