The purpose of this website is to bring back the fun memories of the past and open up the history of the lost theaters that once defined an evenings entertainment. The architectural interior and of course the exterior of these mighty structures still fills one with a sense of awe, evoking romantic dreams of a time when movie-going was an event. There are thousands of theaters throughout the United States that need recognized for there role in entertaining us throughout the years this site contains many theaters from the state of Kansas.

I began researching the theaters of Kansas back in 1998. I was interested in finding out what had happened to the theaters in my hometown of Liberal, Kansas. Once I began my efforts many people from all over Kansas started sending information on there hometown theaters…..so began the database of Kansas Theaters.

Some of these mighty structures have been destroyed others have been refurbished and are open for business. If you have any information regarding Kansas theaters, opera houses or drive in theaters but they are not listed or you have additional information such as pictures or news articles please email me. Let’s keep the history of our classic theaters alive!
