Mark this one closed for good.
Opened on 26/11/1970 with on cinema 1 with “Diary of a mad housewife” and on cinema 3 with “Dirty Dingus Magee”.
Leitersburg Cinemas is also used for church services on Sundays. The Lifehouse Church has conducted services there since around 2005 www.lifehousechurch.org.
The theater opened in 1970 by the late J Kenneth Ridenour. Ridenour operated the theater from 1970 to 1989.
This theater is now known as the Leitersburg cinemas. The website is www.leitersburgcinemas.com
The management that was doing work on the drive-in and theater left the business. The theater closed for a short while, and fortunately another group signed a 10 year lease last year. The family that owns the theater is going to auction off the land some time this month!! I hope that this theater will stay with new ownership. The drive in would nice if brought back.
Sounds like a very interesting place. Movies, concerts and a weekend drive-in sure sounds multi-purpose to me. Perhaps this is something that could take off in other parts of the country, maybe even here in New Jersey.
