Ridglea Theater has been known to show a few movies here and there today but its primary purpose is a concert venue. And its actually a really nice concert venue too, intimate, strong. Saw Mudvayne, Ministry, Black Flag (w/ Keith Morris and Henry Rollins), and a few local shows.
My dad actually saw Monty Python And The Holy Grail back in the 70s.
My mom frequented this theater in the early 80s with her friends. She remembers going to see lots of low-budget horror flicks (Friday The 13th, The Burning, Fear No Evil, etc) and remembers the expired green hot dogs, the popcorn that you had to chew because it was so stale, and the rats that would sneak by under the seats. There was mainly kids from Northside and Trimble Tech high and whenever there was a nude scene in the movie all the guys would hoot and holler. Good times.

I miss this theater. Very humble and laid back. Excellent service and very true to its standards. Sure don’t make them like this anymore…
