Peoples Bank Theatre
In its more than 80 years, the theatre has changed locations, appearances, and even names. Most recently, the theatre was named Peoples Bank Theatre. But it’s always been a shining jewel in the cultural landscape of the Mid-Ohio Valley. Innovations ranging from heating and cooling to talking pictures and celebrity appearances have earned this theatre a special place in Marietta’s history and in the hearts of the many who can still recall what a night out at the theatre was like.
After some 15 years of fundraising, The HIPPODROME/COLONY HISTORICAL THEATRE ASSOCIATION has successfully restored the theatre to its former glory. Following the lead of other communities throughout the country, this group secured the funding necessary to renovate and reopen this local landmark, allowing the theatre to reopen its doors in 2016.
The uses for the Peoples Bank Theatre are many and varied. Not only is it once again showing movies on the big screen, but its large stage and accompanying orchestra pit can now accommodate dance recitals, ballet, magic acts, graduations, corporate events, concerts, local plays, and touring performances.
