Kenosha Theatre

Vision:
The Kenosha Theatre Restoration Project is a volunteer group of local citizens and community leaders dedicated to restoring the Kenosha Theatre to its former grandeur. The goal is not only to restore this treasure because of its historical significance but to breathe new life and purpose into it by renovating it into an entertainment complex. Its use then becomes limitless and a true asset to the Kenosha downtown and to the surrounding communities as a whole.

History:
The Kenosha Theatre was built in 1927 by United Studios of Chicago for Universal Studios. The project was commissioned by Carl Laemmle a Wisconsin native and founder of Universal Studios. At that time, all the major movie studios owned every aspect of making and distributing movies up and down the line, including owning the theaters where movies were seen by the public such as the Kenosha.
