Lou Ana Theatre

One of a number of theatres operating in Opelousas in the 1950’s. Together with the Delta Theatre and the Yam Drive-In, these were the only theatres still operating at the end of 1957.

It is listed (incorrectly spelled as Lou Ann) in the book, “African American Theaters Buildings: An Historical Directory.”

I’ve uploaded a photo of a page from the Opelousas Daily World from August 31, 1950 which contains ads for all the theatres operating in Opelousas at that time.
