The Marr celebrated its 20th Anniversary but limped to a close three years later shutting after a double features of “Let No Man Write My Epitaph” and “The Wild One” on May 14, 1961. A week later it became a house of worship for the Gethsemane Evangelical Luthern Church. It has been converted to a multi-occupant business center still in use in the 2020s.
Opening: The Marr Theatre welcomed audiences on February 4th, 1938, providing a venue for entertainment, films, and community gatherings.
Closure: Unfortunately, the theater’s curtains fell in 1961, marking the end of an era.
Transformation: In the 1960s, the once-grand theater underwent a drastic transformation. Its interior was gutted, and the space was repurposed into a strip mall.
Abandonment: By 2008, the Marr Theatre had been vacated and left to the elements, standing as a silent witness to its own past.

Opened February 1938 with “Wild and Woolly”.
There’s no renovation occurring at the Marr. As of August 2023 it was entirely vacant.
Renovating as what?
