Originally opened on May 24, 1996 by Rhyan Management Company, who also operated it for many years. It was taken over by Regal on May 21, 1999. This theater has undergone a couple of makeovers and in fact has moved just west of its first and second locations and is still on Route 14 about ½ mile west of Route 31.

Does anyone have a pic of this theatre. I may have been here as a young child during a summer visit with my cousins in Crytal Lake. This is where I first saw Grease. I rememeber my cousins and I singing the songs from the movie that summer. I had a blast.

I recalled vaguely that Crystal Lake was where the teenagers get slaughtered in the Friday the 13th movies, so I looked it up. The chamber of commerce must love that.
This might have been owned by Rhyan Management, who had other locations across the northern Chicago suburbs. It never was Kerasotes. The “Showplace” name was used by several independent companies; in Evansville, Indiana, Kerasotes had to call their 16-plex “Stadium” since the local chain already called their theatres “Showplace.”

This Theater Replaced A 7-Screener Called The Showplace 1-7 (Opened: September 1973 As A Twin, Converted To A Quad In 1978, Converted Into 7-Screens In 1987, And Closed In Early 1996) Which Will Have Its CinemaTreasures Page Soon.
Not A Lot… I Just Got Interested With Former Locations.
It actually opened on May 24, 1996.
