The Gard Theater building has been spruced up with fresh paint and stucco work. It sits on a corner, with a restaurant contained in the major section of the street frontage. The theater entrance is small,and the only thing resembling a marquee is a blue canvas awning with the words “Theater” printed in white.
Only open on weekends, showing family-oriented films at 7 & 9 on Fridays and Saturdays, and at 7 on Sundays.

For those who might be interested, here is a brief biography of Robert E. Gard, for whom the Gard Theatre was named. A significant figure in the community theater movement in the United States, and in the promotion of the arts in small towns, he was long associated with the University of Wisconsin.
