Sky-Vue Theatre

Trike’s previous comment is true, I was the final owner of this place until a car that was going too fast to navigate the circle by it did what weather couldn’t for 90 years and demolished it in July 2022. Any chance of getting this changed to the real name of Sky-Vue (with an E)? It was never known as New Theater for even a day. Most the bio is correct, it opened as the Circle Theater in 1934 by Gil Nelson and was a popular spot for local workers who stayed in town during the week. It definitely wasn’t always an air-dome and had a roof until the 2000s. Around 1955, it became Teatro Batesville until sold to Dudley White Sr. in 1960. Mr. White ran the only mechanic shop in town in there from 1960 until his retirement in 2005, using the Sky-Vue as a garage. Still very alive and enjoying his rest, Mr. White sold the half of his plot the theater was on to me in August 2021. You know the rest. RIP Sky-Vue.
