The Historic Fayette Theater is a former movie house that was built in 1937. It is one of the few Depression era theaters still operational in southern WV. Visitors can view the original movie projectors, which remained in use until the 1960s. The Fayette County Historical Society began renovations in 1992. Adorning the walls inside the theatre are many paintings and pieces of art that depict life and entertainment from the 1930s era. The theatre stages ten performances per year, along with special nights by request. The building is open for free tours on Fridays from late May until late October.

Oriental Theatre - 24 W. Randolph St. Chicago, IL 60603 "As one of the first motion picture palaces whose décor was inspired by the Far East, Chicago’s Oriental Theatre opened to much fanfare on May 8, 1926. Designed by George L. and Cornelius W. Rapp for theatre managers Balaban and Katz, the theatre, a virtual museum of Asian art, presented popular first-run motion pictures, complemented by lavish stage shows.

The Bird Cage Theatre has an amazing history. Once it opened on December 24, 1881 it operated continuously twenty four hours a day, 365 days a year for 8 years. It had a reputation as being the wildest and wickedest place in Tombstone, AZ. Over 140 bullet holes still remain in the building which fits with the legend that 26 people were killed in the Bird Cage Theatre. There have been reports of ghost sightings by both visitors and employees of former prostitutes and cowboys.
