Broadway Street. The theatre closed in 1985, but ICE Cinemas reopened the theatre in 1987. The theatre finally closed in 2000.

Opened April 12th, 1974
Ingalls Cazel Enterprises (ICE) closed the Pawnee Plaza Theatre (and Arcade) on September 24, 2000 with “Scary Movie,“ "Bait,” The Watcher” and “God’s Army.” A final “Rocky Horror Picture Show” showing technically ran that day as a midnight show. It was then listed on the delinquent tax role with ICE filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy which liquidated the company.
