Regent Theatre
(1919)211 Trowbridge
The Art Deco style Regent Theatre was originally built as a horse livery. In 1919 it became a theater, showing movies and live vaudeville stage acts. When the theater was threatened with demolition in 1990, the non-profit Old Regent Theatre Company purchased and restored the theater, celebrating a grand reopening in 1996. A year later the roof collapsed in a violent thunderstorm. Restored again with the assistance of state and local grants, the Regent Theatre is now owned and operated by the city of Allegan and shows current and classic movies five days a week.
