The Scott Theater had a soft opening on October 10, 1947 with Roy Rogers in “Bells of San Angelo”. It had its official opening on October 14, 1947 with Johnny Weissmuller in “Tarzan and the Huntress”. It was operated by Affiliated Theaters Inc. of Indianapolis, IN. After closing as a movie theatre it was later renovatated in 2002 and converted into a country music hall named the Scottsburg Jamboree. Everything has stayed the same except we tore down the screen and built a stage that has a barn for the back wall and is all made of wood boards. It looks kind of like the Grand Ole Opry.
We have live country music shows every weekend and looking to do more during the week in the future. We house 500 seats.

Hello, I’m new to the site, and I wanted to take a small poll to see if there are members who would like to see something other than music at the theatre?
Boxoffice pf February 4, 1956, reported that Mrs. Ethel K. Walsh, president of the Scott Amusement Company, had turned over management of the Scott Theatre in Scottsburg and the Austin Theatre in Austin to her daughters and their husbands.
The marquee now says “ROSS” instead of SCOTT, but the theater is still open and looks to be in good shape!
The Scott Theatre first had a soft opening on October 10, 1947 with Dale Evans in “Bells Of San Angelo” along with the first Casper Noveltoon “The Friendly Ghost”, a newsreel, and Chapter 3 of Jack Armstrong.
It had a short four-day soft launch, which softly launched with the attraction above for the first two days and the city’s premiere of “Miracle On 34th Street” along with the Bugs Bunny Merrie Melodie “A Hare Grows In Manhattan” and a newsreel on the final two days. The official grand opening of the Scott Theatre was held on October 14, 1947 with “Tarzan And The Huntress” with no short subjects.
