Sigal Theatre

The Sigal Theatre was built and opened in 1906 with Mike and Marie Sigal as the owners and operators. Mike Sigal ran the projector and his wife, Marie took tickets and sold concessions from her booth. After his wife’s death in 1936, the theatre was leased for a time. The old Sigal Theatre closed after the death of Mike Sigal in 1945. The building was abandoned and then purchased by new owners Ace Hickman, B.H. Freeland, and H.D. Driskell who had previously announced in 1947 the building would be remodeled and used as a theatre. Plans changed and the building was leased to the government for five years to be used as a Veterans Vocational School shop. The theatre never opened again.
