Nearby Theaters
Located in the Dunlap Building on E. Wade Street, Wadesboro, NC. Opened as the Ansonia 2 Theatre in 1942 with Cary Grant in “Talk of the Town”. It was renamed Wadesboro Theatre in early-1945. It was the little guy always going up against the 560-seat New Ansonia Theatre in Wadesboro. For the most part the Wadesboro Theatre played first run movies ‘for white people only’. It was still open in 1952, but had closed by 1955.
