The Post-Commack Theatre actually opened on February 11, 1922 with an original capacity of 500 seats.
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.
The February 11, 1922, issue of The Capital Times of Madison, Wisconsin, noted that the new Post-Cammack Theatre in Spring Green had formally opened the previous Thursday, February 9.
BUILT IN 1921 AS THE POST CAMMACK THEATRE

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.
