In 1996 it became the home of the Columbus Opry Co. They put on a Country Western show every Saturday evening until it was closed in July 2006. The theatre was used for other live productions also.
The theatre is a two story building that at one time was painted all white. It could use a coat of paint again but the interior is in great shape.
The theatre has a triangular-shaped marquee with attraction panels on each side and still in use. The marquee is trimmed in red with large letter on each side spelling out “Oaks”.
