The Kansan Theatre was opened around 1941. On July 25, 1953, BoxOffice reported that Francis L. Edwards, manager of the Kansan Theatre in Fredonia, “was in Parsons two weeks where he managed the Parsons Theatre and Kansan Theatre while Mr. and Mrs. Paul Brown were on a vacation.”

The May 1, 1955 issue of Fire Engineering mentioned a minor grass fire behind “the Klassy Kleaners and the Kansan Theatre” in Fredonia. The Kansan Theatre was still open in 1960.

Another site placed the address at 408 N. 7th Street.
