The World Premiere of “The Return of Dolemite” took place at the Broadmoor in May of 2002 with Rudy Ray Moore making a personal appearance on behalf of the Broadmoor’s operator, Fernando ‘Fred’ Williams. Williams was a film producer and owned 13 movie theaters. Upon returning to the theatre years later, that poster and other features from 2002 were still in the poster frames which likely makes May 30, 2002 its closing date. The Broadmoor was demolished in 2015 likely to remove it from the tax roster.

The mid-century modern Broadmoor Theatre is slated for demolition in the next few weeks (July-August 2015).

The Dukes of Hazzard TV series star John Schneider, who now lives near Baton Rouge, is rescuing parts of the theatre, including its iconic sign.

I saw two movies here, Love and Basketball (2000) and Bad Santa (2003). Was a dump but the price was right and i enjoyed the shows.
