“The Theatre Angola” opened on November 25, 1924 as a silent movie house so common to this era. The theater was converted to sound in 1929. A group of local businessmen leased the theater, made improvements in the sound system and opened on November 11, 1930 under the name “The New Angola Theater”.
Suffering hard times and retirements, the theater was closed in 1995, but finally reopened on the evening of May 17, 2002. It remains a center of attraction to the little village and shows great hope for the future!
Above the neon marquee in the stone are the words "The Angola" and the date "1924".
