The Star Theatre was opened prior to 1926 with 250-seats. It was reopened in 1932 as the Nova Theatre, with a seating capacity of 400. It was damaged after a tornado in June 2005. After restoration, the theatre is once again open to the public.

Website is gambling spam. According to the website Debra posted in 2011, the theater closed in 1974, and started restoration in 1997. It reopened in late 2001.

I’m a little dubious of the 1926 date. Probably a different building, possibly not even at this address. The KS Historical Society says it was built in 1933 by E.G. and Merle Swank. Dates are sometimes a bit off. Here’s their entry, generated long ago after it had closed: https://khri.kansasgis.org/index.cfm?in=079-4000-00933
Looks like the KS links don’t work, but you can go to the site, put Stockton as the city, and Nova as the name.
