The Spanish Colonial Cordova Theatre opened in 1928 at a cost of
$100,000. Through the years it had many different owners and
operators and had been closed for a few years before being opened
again in 2000 by Best Theatres who did a thorough redecoration and
a reupholstering of its 500 seats along with the addition of a
digital sound system.
It has a modern marquee and facade but the interior, including
its box office, is close to its original appearance. Best Theatres
also operate the local Audian and Village Centre Theatres.
