Although you can’t tell by looking at photos of this old theater, it was opened on August 23, 1950. It was the first building to be completed in a new large shopping center. Designed in a Colonial style all seating was on a single floor.
In later years it was twinned. It was closed in May 2006 and was demolished. A new 3-screen Sparta Theatre was built on the site which opened in June 2007 (it has its own page on Cinema Treasures).

…This theater should reopen by the time the summer movie season begins…I can’t wait!!!
I agree with jersy boy. Sparta needs some new employees. I went once when they were playing zodiac because at the time viroqua wasn’t showing it.
After the movie I wanted a refill on my pepsi. The girl at the counter told me they don’t refill smalls. Fair enough. So I told her, “Okay, I will pay for it then”. She told me no. They don’t do that. So I looked at her funny and said you mean I can’t pay for a refill? And she said no. I told her to just fill it up and charge me for a small. she said no. I asked her, “will you sell me a small drink then?” She said yes. I was thrown for a loop. What the heck is the difference. This way she is wasting a cup. So I said, “ Your telling me, that your going to make me waste this cup and buy a whole new soda – which be the same as you filling my cup? She said yes. So I threw my cup away and bought a small. I left there totally confused and thrown. I won’t go back. They were snutty and rude. They never smile and they make you feel like your bothering them.
chersfan –
The Sparta Theatre has been closed since last May. Perhaps you saw Zodiac in another city?
Is the theater still on track to open on Friday with the opening of Shrek 3? No word on showtimes for the theater yet.
According to locals on the Sparta forum…the theater will open on June 8th, when three new movies open. I guess Surf’s Up will open there as well as Hostel Part II and Ocean’s 13. Hopefully they’ll have carryover from the nearby Newton theater.
so far, it’s not open, what’s holding it up? The theater is opening in the same building where Panera is now, along with a Rita’s that will open soon.
Sparta Theatre should open on or about 6/29/07, it is up to building officials as of tomorrow. The theatre has 2 stadium theatres and a steep slope screening room that nearly equals the stadium houses. The screening room could not be made stadium because of the loss of seats due to their overall size and ADA compliance. All sound and projection equipment is new and Dolby Digital will be standard in all three. All three theatres have video capability and high-back Greystone Manhattan, plush “love” seats. We are hoping Ratatouille and Evan Almighty will open with Tranformers to follow.Thanks for the interest in our new baby.
pretty soon the newton theater will be back to compete against sparta!!!
in mid-april…
