The Richland Theatre closed on March 13, 1960 with “Damn Yankees” and “The Pajama Game.” That coincided with the opening the Hi-Land Drive-In Theater’s season. Instead of a Fall relaunch, the Richland became a live venue that Fall using the moniker, the Richland Players Theater.
“The Robe” and it’s sequel, “Demetrius and the Gladiators” were shown at the Richland together on special CinemaScope screen that dwarfed the original one and was wider than the stage.
