This started life as the Carma Theatre, and was located at the former site of an A&P store. The theater opened its doors on October 18, 1946 with June Haver in “Three Little Girls In Blue” (unknown if extras added). It originally housed 492 seats and was first operated by the husband-and-wife team of Mr. and Mrs. George Carmack.
The theater was rebuilt in the 1970s by another husband-and-wife team of Doc and Lois Rodabaugh, and was renamed the Shannon Theatre.
We go to the Shannon almost exclusively. A nice little theater, all shows are $3 now, mostly first run movies the day/ Friday they come out. They just replaced the original seats this year, they’re more comfortable. They also have packs of tickets you can buy even cheaper in advance (4 for $10 or 10 for $20) and even snack specials. They have 7 and 9:30 showings during the week and 2 matinees on the weekend. Some times they will show 2 different movies (various times).
It makes an enjoyable and affordable family outing and they almost always have truly family friendly movies (our children are 10-17).
