The Colony Theatre, originally named the Carolina Theatre (the second Carolina Theatre in Wilson – the first was renamed Drake Theatre when this theater opened), was located at 129 South Goldsboro Street. It has since been demolished.
The site of the Colony Theatre is now a parking lot. Status should be Demolished.
Erle G. Stillwell’s plans for the Carolina Theatre can be seen on this page at DocSouth’s Going to the Show. The Carolina opened on November 23, 1939.
Closed in 1983.
