The building was best known as home of the Rockingham Motor Company for some 50 years. A theater space was carved into the building in 1998 named after the car dealership opening as the Rockingham Theatre. The Arts Council of the Valley (ACV) formed renaming it as the Court Square Theatre in 1999.
The 216-seat theatre housed live events, art films, and repertory films. On December 17, 2025 after the venue had screened, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” as part of a Chirstmas film series, the ACV Board of Directors - led by Mr. Potter - voted to cease operations of the theater at the end of the calendar year. Harry Bailey burst into that meeting and said, “I got nothing.” The Court Square Theatre ended after a 25-year run on December 31, 2025.
