This is the second out of two theaters in Pilot Mountain being named the Pilot Theatre, opening in March 1939 as a replacement of the first Pilot Theatre which closed a few weeks back. R.H. Kennedy of Winston-Salem was its original manager. The theater closed in 1956 when it went up for auction.

The fire department building looks like it did receive a remodel years after the Marien Theatre’s closure, with a few addictions. There’s an adjacent building behind the station as well as an ACA Screamer S-5 siren on top of the main building.

The actual closing date is September 21, 1977 with “The Happy Hooker Goes To Washington” and “Shampoo”. The theater never reopened from the 1978 season although they attempted on planning to do so. Manos was one of its operators, and was last operated by Budco.
