The Marumsco Theatre opened by November 1964, located in the Marumsco Plaza. The theatre closed in September 1987 following a ceiling tile falling due to a leaking roof. It reopened but it was brief, as it closed as a movie theatre in November 1987.
It is currently being used as a pool hall/night club.

Washington Post of Sunday November 15, 1964 (page G-3) lists Marumsco Theatre.. Wed – Sat “World of Henry Orient”
Run by Neighborhood Theatres of Virginia.
Was only in the Marumsco once.. as I remember.. Booth had Simplex XLs (with drive-in mod, picture was projected up to the screen (like a drive-in) not down) with Peerless MagnArc lamps.. huge screen that was slightly higher then the booth, and much higher than the audience.
1964 photo added. Per Pat Moore: The theater was run by Mr. Thomas and his two sons, John and Tim.

Became a Cineplex Odeon location when they acquired Neighborhood Theatres in late 1986. At some point in 1987 a roof leak caused a ceiling tile to fall n the seats. We closed the theatre the next day.
Closed in September 1987 following roof collapse.
Did briefly reopen shortly after the September 1987 roof collapse but closed two months later.
The actual opening date is November 24, 1964, and the Marumsco was nicknamed “The Golden Theatre” according to the November 30, 1964 edition of Box Office. This was also opened by Neighborhood Theatres and housed a total capacity of 754 seats.
