Countless shows have played in its majestic walls, from live vaudeville acts to the classic films of yesteryear. The theater recently enjoyed a $6.5 million restoration and in May will serve as the 2009 Boomtown Film and Music Festival's main venue. Visit their web site or click here for directions.
