Welcome to the Historic Variety Theatre. 

The Variety Theatre was built in 1927 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.   Until the early 1980s, this 1900-seat theatre hosted both movies and live performances.  Eventually, the theatre closed and was later used as a concert hall, a charter school and a boxing gym. For the last 20 years, the theatre has remained vacant. 

 But that's about to change: Plans are now underway to restore the Variety as a multi-use theatre showing movies, dinner theatre, children's theatre, stand-up comedy, private parties and much much more.
