Palace Theatre

N Kanawha St Beckley WV

Information for this tour was contributed by Darren Snow.

Opened on New Years Eve 1923 and managed by W.A. Burke, the Palace was informally known as "the shootin' gallery" due to its frequent programming of B-grade Westerns. In the 1960s, the Curtain Callers drama group presented live entertainment at the renamed Palace Playhouse. Grant Thomas, a theatre operator from Oak Hill, leased the venue in 1973 and ran it as the Towne Cinema. It's been closed since March 1986.
