With A Little Help From Friends
If you are looking for an old theater in Virginia or nearby, the Buchanan Theater is obviously the one. This theater started out with the name A.E. McCurdy’s Open Air Theater in 1914 and completed the whole structure of the building by 1919. The theater building was then renamed to Star Theater and finally to Buchanan Theater. The Buchanan Theater transitorily closed in November 1985 ‘til it was reopened and operated by its new owners Dale and Gloria Carter.
On its 10th year revitalization anniversary, the theater then started using state of the art digitally formatted and high definition films. With a little help from their friends and its community folks, the theater is keeping up pace with venues for performing arts and other intendment. Today, it is registered by the National Register of Historic Places as the oldest theater in Botetourt County.
