Summary edit

Description
English: Built in 1928, this Mediterranean Revival-style theater served as a movie theater for half a century, closing in 1978. The theater mostly sat vacant until 1992, when it was purchased by Dave Longaberger and The Longaberger Company and subsequently restored, reopening in 2000 as a live performance venue. The theater features a buff brick facade with terra cotta trim, a large Renaissance-style gable parapet at the central bay of the front facade with terra cotta parapet caps, a cartouche and finial at the top of the parapet, terra cotta pilasters to either side with urns above, and a large arched window bay on the third floor in the center of this part of the facade with a terra cotta spandrel between it and the two doubled one-over-one double-hung windows below, a large marquee and sign displaying the name of the theater and having an LED signboard above the front entrance, and a recessed entrance with with marble wall panels, double doors with transoms, a stone floor, and a freestanding octagonal ticket booth with decorative spandrel panels, spiraling corinthian engaged columns, and decorative trim crowing the top of the glass-walled booth. The other sections of the building feature red terra cotta tile roofs with deep overhanging eaves, one-over-one windows, wrought iron juliet balconies at the windows, first floor retail shopfronts with large plate glass windows and recessed entrances, banded terra cotta trim, a smaller gable parapet on the 2nd Street facade with a broken pediment featuring a terra cotta cartouche, a large stage house and boxy auditorium in the rear, and limestone banding at the base of the building. The building is a contributing structure in the Newark Downtown Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
