The theatre was built in 1929 for use originally as a town hall. In 1935 movies came to town when motion picture equipment was installed in the building. The structure was severely damaged by fire in 1944. The theatre eventually closed in the 1970's. A non-profit group purchased the structure in 1985, saving it from demolition. Today it has been restored and brings performing arts to the county.
