This theater became the Grand Rapids Civic Theater in the mid 50’s early 60’s until it was torn down during urban renewal. I do not remember there being much of a lobby, but the Civic Theater took over the building next door (to the right in the picture) to build dressing rooms, a backstage area, a large lobby/rehearsal hall. The theater had a large basement where we also rehearsed. I acted in several plays there as a child and saw many plays there. I never saw a movie there.

This space was converted into the Grand Rapids Civic Theater in the late 50’s, early 60’s. I acted in several shows there as a kid. I do not recall much of a lobby.
