Washita Theatre

United States / CHICKASHA, Oklahoma
Location ID: #10183461

The historic Washita Theatre opened in 1941 with Ginger Rogers in “"Tom, Dick and Harry” & Bud Abbot & Lou Costello in “Hold That Ghost”. It replaced an original Washita Theatre which was destroyed by fire. Designed by architects Jack M. Corgan & Williamn J. Moore Jr., it featured a round tower structure in the center of the façade which was decorated in bands of red porcelain. It had a seating capacity for 900, in orchestra and balcony levels. The Washita Theatre remained a movie house for the next sixty years, but finally closed in April 2001.

The Chickasha Community Theatre purchased the Washita Theatre in downtown Chickasha, Oklahoma and renovated and restored the theatre into a venue for their theatre productions. The group had operated since 1994 without a permanent home and the purchase of the once immensely popular movie house fulfilled their dream. -Cinema Treasures
