I was one of the first employees there when it opened in 1986. They played “the Boy who Could Fly” there when it opened.
I also remembered when they started playing Rocky Horror Picture Show. The assistant manager, who mostly described as a b***h, would turn on the lights if anyone tried to act out the show That didn’t stop us, we got a live cast running and it ran for a while. It was fun to do the pre-show, we would get so many sailors from the training center and we always loved to joke, “Don’t you just love a virgin in white.” People who had never seen the movie in a theater are called virgins.
My dad was its main projectionist from around 1969/1970 to 1973. In fact I remember when Poseidon Adventure played at the theater. I remember its poster in a frame right by the door that lead up the stairs to where my dad worked.
I remember the Saturday matinees that they had. it was co-sponsored by a nearby McDonald’s and Gulf Gas station. I remember when the 1960s Batman movie play at the matinee.
This is a picture of the Harrisonburg Drive-In north of Harrisonburg and right next to the off ramp. I sat in that box office from 1980/1981 to 1984. My mom was the cashier in the 1970s.
No Roth Theaters opened the Valley Mall 4, I knew the District Manager who had her office there. It used to be at the Roth’s 1-2-3. Leow’s bought it later.

The site is now a Pilot Truck Stop. The buildings remained up for so many years.
