History
Built in 1925, the Colonial Theatre was the only theatre in Mecklenburg County for over two decades.[1] The venue originally housed vaudeville shows and musical performances before undergoing conversion first into a theatre for silent movies and later for modern motion pictures.[1] Many notable entertainers performed at the theatre during its lifespan, including Joan Crawford, Clara Bow, and Minnie Pearl.[1]
The area's post office was housed for a time on the building's first floor, while a Masonic lodge was located on the third.[4] The theatre closed in the 1970s and remained so until a community fundraising drive brought about a renovation effort in the early 2000s.[5] The building reopened in 2011 as the Colonial Center for the Performing Arts, featuring a 400-seat theatre, two lobbies and a welcome center on its main floor, as well as an art gallery and offices on the second floor and a ballroom on the third.[5][6]
