In its former glory<\/span><\/h2>\n

_________<\/span><\/p>\n

First opening its doors in late 1934, the Karrh Center Theatre<\/a> was one to be marveled. The theatre presented feature films in addition to a variety of vaudeville attractions. Many locals remember seeing picture shows for just 10 cents. The theatre was enjoyed by all until, sadly, its doors were closed in the late 1960s. The building was then used as a retail space and for a short time sat vacant until 2014. At that time, proprietor W.M. Karrh\u2019s grandsons, Bill and Jim, donated the former theatre to the City of Swainsboro for redevelopment into a community arts center.<\/p>\n
