The Richelieu Theatre, named after owner Charles H. Richelieu, opened its doors on February 29, 1924 with Tom Moore in “Big Brother” (unknown if extras added). It was renamed the Manos Theatre on October 20, 1936, and renamed again the Penn Theatre in April 1950.
The Penn Theatre likely closed as a movie theater on March 21, 1971 with “Woodstock”, and reopened the following day as a concert venue. It didn’t last long, and it closed by 1973.
