There could be an earlier Ken Theatre but I cannot confirm it at this time. Kenneth and Marilyn Sanders were their original operators who also built and open the Kenda Drive-In in 1966. Unfortunately the Ken Theatre did suffer severe damage from a 1968 fire.
Right after the Ken Theatre closed as a movie theater, Kenneth and Marilyn continued to operate the Kenda Drive-In until 2003 when they passed that theater’s ownership to their daughter and son-in law, Kenda and Todd Dearing.
The theatre’s Facebook page shows the repro marquee lit up and a couple of interior pictures. Strictly a black box venue, with a flat floor and brick walls.https://www.facebook.com/The-Ken-Theatre-506155976177181/
Reproduction marquee was installed in 2016, just 11 days after my visit.
