Columbia Theatre For The Performing Arts
The Columbia Theatre for the Performing Arts is a historic theatre located in downtown Hammond, Louisiana. History The theatre opened on September 1, 1928, the same year that Hammond Junior College became Southeastern Louisiana College. Originally designed for the presentation of motion pictures, vaudeville acts, and local theatrical productions, the Columbia was the largest theater in Hammond. It featured the first theatre organ and the first talking pictures. The Columbia became the center for entertainment during the depression and war years of the 1930s and 1940s. By the 1950s and 1960s the theater needed to be renovated. This was an era in which downtown businesses were suffering due to the development of regional malls and subdivisions. Although a sincere effort to remodel and reopen the theater was made in the late 1970s by businessman Wiley Sharp, it proved to be too challenging for one individual. By the early 1980s, the Columbia was vacant, leaking, and infested with ter ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
