Along with the Liberty Theatre around the corner, the Pasco Theatre was operated by Mercy & Sons in the 1950’s & 1960’s. It screened mainstream films but closed a number of times during the 1980’s and 1990’s.

I’m someone who visited the Pasco Theater a few times in the late 80’s and early 90’s, managed to see “Spaced Invaders”, “Rocky Horror Picture Show”, and “Tommy” here, the latter two being midnight showings.
When the theater started up a number of times in that time period, various people tried to keep it going, showing everything from family films and cartoons to Mexican movies, along with the midnight showings sponsored by local radio stations. It has been quiet since the late 1990’s, but the building and box office still remains. As stated on the page, it is currently a means of storage.
Accordingly to the Pasco Historic Preservation work plan, the Pasco Theatre was once the Empire Theatre.
SRO operated this theater in the early 1980’s as a successful Spanish language theater.
Opened in September 1944.
