It appears that work to restore the theater has begun, The Mon Valley Cultural Trust bought the theater in October 2002 they plan on having movies as well as live theater.
The trust agreed to pay all back taxes & $25,000 for the Coyle.

The trust comprises members from Belle Vernon, Charleroi, Monessen and Monongahela.

The Coyle Theater opened in 1895. It originally hosted vaudeville shows and then “talkies.”

Closed in May 1999, the last major movie shown at the theater was the greatest grossing film of all time – “Titanic.”
