Reopened in 2001, after renovations, the public has been amazed by the transformation and magnificence of the work of art is has become.

Opened in August 1930 as The State Theatre, movies were changed four times a week until 1969. It was an important corner stone for the Newberry area. In 1973, the badly deteriorated and closed theater building was purchased by Fred Dunkeld. Reopened in August of 1974, Fred continued the restoration for three years. Time passed and Newberry suffered some hard economic times in the 90's, the theatre had no other option but to close in 1997. With the opening of the new prison and other signs of strong economic growth, the theatre regained new life and was able to be renovated and reopened. Fred Dunkeld did this incredible feat independantly with no grants or local contributions.

When visiting, treat yourself with a generous portion of popcorn, a variety of candies and fountain pop.
