The 3 Lakes Theatre was one of the theaters originally built from a Quonset hut, and opened on June 12, 1949. It had a seating capacity of 346, all on a single floor. It ran continually until about 1973 - then closed.
It was turned into apartments and retail store. Now about 75% complete renovation - showing second run movies and planning full movie program in future - looking for older films on 35mm. It has an art gallery in front - concessions include wine and beer - located inside the theater itself. Have live performances as well. Opened again in June, 2009. The theatre was designed by famous baseball player, Fred (Cy) Williams

When I lived in the greater Southampton (England) area, I was a volunteer at the Sarisbury Green Community Centre… which was a left-over Quanset hut from WW2. I believe Quanset and Nissan huts are alike but with different names.
Anyhow, this was at least one hundred feet long by fifty feet wide.
After the war they added a decent twenty foot deep stage with large wings. This is were my talents were developed as a stage hand during concerts, dances, bingo, plays and a few movies.
I had paid close attention to events when viewing live shows at Southampton’s (then) Gaumont Theatre, especially the correct use of curtains and specialty “mood” lighting.
I revisited my old stomping grounds in 2000 and was delighted to see the old hut is still operating. Ah, happy days!
I wish to contact either william or gary appel for additional information or photos of the three lakes theater and to update them on what is happening there
