Louis, The theater you mentioned is the Trustees Theater. It was called the Weis Theater and was closed for over 20 years before SCAD took it over.

Just saw this theater yesterday. Awesome and impressive. There is a theater around the corner, named the SCAD, seems like it’s part of the Savannah College of Arts & Design, but it’s not listed. I have to assume that the original name of the theater is not SCAD. Perhaps this theater is under another name?

I think it was an ABC SOUTHEASTERN THEATRE back in the 1970’s. Plitt might have even had it for awhile.

“ MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL” mentioned above,Director Clint Eastwood was raising money for the theatre by charging $100.00 dollars to have your picture taken with him.I am still kicking myself for not driving down for a picture and know the hundred was going for a great theatre.Wonder how many showed up?

Contrary to [un]popular opinion S.C.A.D. does not own the Lucas, the school does make significant contribution to the monthly operating expenses of the theatre.

According to this site, in the early days men were not admitted to the theater without jacket and tie. I don’t think that would work today:

Back in 1997 when Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil was being filmed in Savannah, there was a great party at the Lucas which included many people from Savannah and the members of the film crew. This was a fun night for all. What a great job has been done with this theatre since then.
