Located in the Lincoln Knolls Plaza Shopping Center. The Lincoln Malls Plaza Theatre was opened on December 20, 1963 with Elvis Presley in “Fun in Acapulco”. The Lincoln Knolls Plaza Theatre was owned by the same company that owned several other theaters including the Liberty Plaza Theatre and at the time the State Theatre downtown.

Broumas Theatres opened the Lincoln Knolls Plaza Theatre on December 15, 1963, the same day they opened the Boardman Plaza Theatre. The Broumas chain, headquartered in Silver Spring, Maryland, had 17 theaters in six states when it declared bankruptcy in December, 1967.
Opened December 20, 1963 with “Fun in Acapulco” staring Elvis Presley, this was another of the fledgling Broumas Theatre Circuit’s suburban strip shopping center new build locations. Unfortunately questionable business practices led to a 1967 Broumas exit from the industry in bankruptcy.
Once operated by Cinecom.
The Lincoln Knolls Plaza Theatre and the Boardman Plaza Theater both had an original capacity of 799 seats featuring Norelco 70mm projection and sound system as well as Norelco CinemaScope installations. The seats were divided into three sections with two aisles as well as gold curtains dominating the decorating scheme. Many of its features were completely the same except for one major difference and that’s the color of the seats. The Lincoln Knolls Plaza Theatre had subdued champagne colored plush seats while the Boardman Plaza had red colored plush. At the time of both the Lincoln Knolls and Boardman Plaza Theaters' opening, the Liberty Plaza Theater was still under construction which contained the same exact features as the Boardman Plaza Theater.
