Kentucky Theater (Lexington)
- Kentucky Theater (Lexington)
The Kentucky Theatre is a historic cinema in downtown Lexington, Kentucky, United States, that first opened in 1922. It is currently owned by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government and leased to a private firm that shows films and also hosts concerts. The theatre's schedule emphasizes foreign, independent, and art films, although more typical Hollywood movies are occasionally shown as well.
Each summer, the Kentucky Theater hosts a Summer Classics Series, showing a different classic film each Wednesday throughout the summer. The lead-in to the film includes a serial and a silent film, in an attempt to commemorate the movie house tradition.
In the late 90s, the city renovated and reopened an adjoining theater. It is referred to informally as the State Theater, although it is operated as a secondary facility for the Kentucky. The State is the usual venue for the "Woodsongs Old-Time Radio Hour", but the program occasionally moves into the larger theater when there is a particularly popular guest on the show.
