Opened in September 1944.
SRO operated this theater in the early 1980’s as a successful Spanish language theater.
Accordingly to the Pasco Historic Preservation work plan, the Pasco Theatre was once the Empire Theatre.
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.
