Inland Theater, 1940

The Inland Theatre opened in January 1940. Small theater amid storefronts. Was closed when I saw it in 1986.

The Inland Theatre was reopened in 2009, as a combined movie theater, with use as a church and for special events.

the Inland “is a wonderful place and still in operation for movies and church”. I left a comment asking for more info from Roseanna, the site’s owner, and I’ll pass along any new info when I get it.

The Inland Theater operates 3 days per week showing one movie. It is also used by a local church and as a venue for special shows, most recently, the Potter Family Christmas Show in December 2011. The Theater is owned by the Claussen family. Currently seeking grant restoration info.

I am seeking information on restoration grants, grants for digital projection and sound conversion, and other support for the Inland Theater (opened in 1940), Martin, SD. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.

The historic Inland Theatre needs to raise funds for the required conversion to digital projection. Check out their page on the crowd funding site, Indiegogo. Their deadline is May 15, 2013. The movie theater is vital to this community.
