This former cinema is now a community theater.

Boxoffice of April 24, 1972, reported that as of April 6, the Gemini Twins in Ada were more than 35% complete. The house was to be operated by Vista Theatres, and the total investment including equipment was estimated at $250,000. An earlier Boxoffice item had given the seating capacities of the auditoriums as 312 and 224. I haven’t found any items about the opening itself.

This closed in the 1990s (the theater name was still used in 1998 but was unconfirmed if it was opened at the time or not).

For a brief time, it became the Norris Performing Arts Center but that closed in the early-2010s.
