Though our family lacks written or photographic documentation, it’s probable that my grandfather Albert S. “Al” Johnson built the Bay Theatre in Caseville. My sister remembers our dad telling her about building a theater for Johnson Construction Company there. We’re assuming that it was the Bay Theatre at 6750 Main Street. The building still stands but currently is being used as a church.
The Bay Theatre opened its doors on July 21, 1949 with Dorothy Lamour in “Slightly French” (unknown if extras added). It originally housed 433 seats and the building measures 40x116ft. Last operating with 360 seats, the Bay Theatre closed for the final time on September 7, 1978 with “Heaven Can Wait”, and the theater became a church right afterward.
