The Tift Theater

The Tift Theater
Tifton, Georgia (GA), US
Opened in 1937, the Tift Theater originally had seating for 1,400 and was designed in Art Moderne style, complete with a multicolored tile facade and neon-lit vertical sign and marquee. The interior of the Tift Theater had an unusual theme to its decor, the circus. The theater lasted exactly half a century before it went dark. Soon afterward, the community gathered behind the Tift Theater to save it, and it was restored and refurbished for use for various forms of live entertainment, as well as being available for special events.
