Originally uploaded by Scott LePage
The Gem Theatre originally opened on December 31, 1936 In Kannapolis, NC. A few years later, in 1942, The Gem Theatre was gutted by fire and the theatre was reduced to ashes.
The theatre was rebuilt in 1948 and featured a beautiful lobby and 916
seats, including the balcony section. The Gem has been open ever since
and is the oldest single-screen movie theatre in operation today. The Gem is also one of only a few movie theatres that offers balcony seating.
