The Rose Theater is owned by The Backlot Players, Inc. We are a non-profit Community Theater Organization. Our Theater seats 150 for live shows & 132 for movies. The building was originally buit in 1904 & was used as a warehouse & grocery store till the 1940s when it was used as a Movie Theater until the late 1950s. It was unused until the 1980s when it had no roof & was used as an Ampitheater/Bar known to some as the Topless Bar! Most recently, in 1999 it was donated to The Backlot Players by Dr. & Mrs William Cummings,then in 2003 & 2007 The Backlot Players renovated the building with a new roof, plush seating and State of the Art Lights, Sound & Projection Systems. We are proud of our Theater! Come visit with us! www.thebacklotplayers.org 478-994-0443

Here are a couple of recent photos of the Rose. Wasn’t able to get a glance on the interior but the exterior looks great! Does anyone know about when the Rose opened and its original seating capacity? I am pretty sure that the Martin Theatre circuit operated it up through the 1960s.
