Once known as Peoples Theatre. Exactly three months after the nearby Dunn Theatre opened its doors in June 1949, the Olive Theatre was renamed the People Theatre that September.

This article from television station WTVY says that the Olive Theatre was opened in 1928, and was named for Olive Dunn. After the house closed in housed a variety of businesses, the last being a furniture store. In the 190s it was donated to the Arts Council which restored it for use as a live theater.
