Trolley Corners

Theater Closed

The Trolley Corners Theatres closed after their final showings on 3 June 2004. The movie theater complex opened on 23 December 1977, featuring an 800 seat theater with stadium seating, 70mm, and large murals of "Star Wars" and "Sound of Music". Downstairs were two 315 seat theaters with murals of classic movie stars. The theater has been gutted and replaced by a fitness center.

In the north foyer of the Trolley Corners Theater 1 was a large mural of Star Wars painted by Don Christensen.  Stairs and platforms gave access to four doors leading to one side of the auditorium.  A similar foyer on the south side of the theater featured a mural from the Sound of Music.  Someone managed to remove the Star Wars mural before the theater was gutted.
