Indiana Theater
When you first enter our theatre's rotunda, you have the feeling of entering a "Theatre of Old", somewhere in 1860 Spain. The Indiana Theatre, designed and built by John Eberson in 1922, is Spanish Baroque in style and seats approximately 1,600 people.
The beautifully spacious lobby, floored with original Terrazzo tiles, has a decorated ceiling with 38 hand-carved sculptures. The history of the theatre, from initial land clearing through total completion, is tastefully portrayed through a series of photographs and framed historical documents throughout the lobby area. There are four 10' x 9' dressing rooms to accommodate the needs of performing artists, as well as a fully stocked concession plaza to serve our movie patrons. The Theatre has been refurbished to appear exactly as it was when first built.
The stage measures 54 feet wide, 33 feet deep, and 4 feet high. The movie screen, which can be raised for live performances, is rated as the second largest screen in the state of Indiana. The historically registered Theatre's light and sound systems have recently undergone a total technical upgrade, and now can accommodate artists who do not travel with their own light and sound equipment
