The theater was adjacent to the intersection of Tidewater Drive and Lafayette Blvd. The building in the deep background is the Lafayette Presbyterian Church.
The only time I ever saw my Dad “under the weather” was the night he forgot to pick my brother and I up at this theater. (One of the young ushers was kind enough to drive us home) When Dad finally came stumbling in the house it was obvious why he didn’t usually drink-he couldn’t hold his liquor. (A few drinks with a friend and he forgot he was married with children!)
In 1979, the building was occupied by Tidewater Ballet School.
If this still exists, it’s the Dollar Tree at 3230.
