LEVINE THEATRICAL ENTERPRISES, which had about a dozen fine theatres in Norfolk and Portsmouth, is the chain for this theatre.

The theater was adjacent to the intersection of Tidewater Drive and Lafayette Blvd. The building in the deep background is the Lafayette Presbyterian Church.

The only time I ever saw my Dad “under the weather” was the night he forgot to pick my brother and I up at this theater. (One of the young ushers was kind enough to drive us home) When Dad finally came stumbling in the house it was obvious why he didn’t usually drink-he couldn’t hold his liquor. (A few drinks with a friend and he forgot he was married with children!)

In 1979, the building was occupied by Tidewater Ballet School.

If this still exists, it’s the Dollar Tree at 3230.
