The State Theatre was vacant and for lease when I visited in March 2023. In February 2024 the State Theatre Vintage Emporium opened in the building.

The Pitt Theatre’s website has changed to http://www.pitttheater.com/. The theater itself now has two screens, both showing movies at 7:30 p.m., and only 7:30 p.m., seven days a week.

The Marigold Theater, a bar and dance hall that features live performances, opened in the building in February 2022. A story in the Daily Hampshire Gazette about the opening includes some history of the Majestic.

The Penn Theater building was condemned by the city of Butler in October 2022. A month later the building was sold and the new owner “envisions it serving as a multi-purpose venue in downtown” with work expected over the winter of 2022-23.

I live on this block. The Jewel Theater building was torn down in 2019/2020. A 12-story apartment building, with space for the church on the ground floor, is nearing completion.

The interior decorating business is gone and the theater is now home to a candy store.
