Stage Door Theatre

The Van Der Vaart Theatre opened September 12, 1925, and was renamed Wisconsin Theatre in 1943, when it was taken over by Warner Bros. Theatres.

Closed in 1977, it was reopened as the Stage Door Theatre in 1978. The Stage Door Theatre was closed in 1984 and the building has since been demolished to become a parking lot.

This was a Warner Brothers theater in 1946, as was the Majestic and the Sheboygan.

The Wisconsin Theater should have its own page on Cinema Treasures, it is a separated theater, next door to the newer Staged Door Cinema just like the Kedzie Theater, Chicago and the Annex Cinema, same city.
