The theater was built in 1935 by R. D. Moore Construction to a design by architect W.D. Coates. By 1941 it was operated by T & D Jr. Enterprises. The city partnered for a 1998 restoration.
The theater was destroyed by fire November 15, 2003. It was rebuilt and reopened in May 2010.

The restoration is coming along really wonderfully! The restoration crew has done a wonderful job in hiring artisans to replicate wall mural, artisanal plaster work, and, oh, that fabulous neon marquee! This is going to be beautiful, and such a landmark in Avenal.

A hundred years from now? I don’t think I can make that one.

As someone already noted, you have to list the address as Kings Street, not King. Otherwise the map view puts you in Kettleman City.
World premiere of “Stricken” on June 25 at the Avenal Theater.
