Zebulon Theater The Zebulon was built in 1935 and opened to the public in 1936. A non-profit since 2000, it is one of only 3 single screen theaters left in Georgia.
(624)

The Zebulon Theatre was opened on April 15, 1936 as a 650-seat theater by Ms. Ethel Blanton who named it after her husband Zebulon Blanton. In 1950 the Blanton Family sold the theater to The Dunn Family Theatre’s Inc. and was operated under that family business until 1973 when Mr. Larry Bearden purchased it and ran it successfully until he retired in 2000. The Community Foundation of South West Ge

orgia purchased the theater on December 15, 2000 and it is now operated by the Regional Community Center, a non-profit organization. The Zebulon Theatre is still a single screen Adams-style building with a seating capacity of 200. The building has seen very little change since it was built in 1936 with the only changes occurring in the snack bar, the addition of a new marquee, a new popcorn machine (that is still in use today), new Simplex XL projectors (that are also still in use), and a new ticket office that was added in 1950. New seats and wall coverings were also added in 1990. In May 2014, the Zebulon Theatre completed its digital conversion with a new screen, sound system, and projection system. The Zebulon Theatre now plays first-run movies and is a family friendly theater. According to the theater, “Just about ever person that was born in Grady County can tell you some kind of story of when they were kids and coming to the Zebulon to see a movie, or how they courted their now-husband or wife at a Saturday afternoon movie. People even have fond memories or working at the snack bar, taking up tickets for running the Simplex XL projectors in the projection booth.”

They also add “The Zebulon Theatre is a jewel in Grady County that we are proud to still have, when so many of the old movie theaters have been torn down.

🎬 A Friendly Reminder from the Zebulon Theater 🎬

We kindly ask that all customers please refrain from bringing outside drinks, candy, snacks, or food into the theater.

We understand that concession prices may seem a little high at times, but we work hard to keep them much lower than what you would typically find at larger box theaters. What many people don’t realize is that movie ticket sales provide very little revenue to the theater after film rental costs are paid. Our concession stand is what helps keep the lights on, pay the bills, and allows us to continue bringing movies, concerts, and family events to our community.

By purchasing your snacks and drinks from our concession stand, you are directly supporting the Zebulon Theater and helping preserve this historic community treasure.

Thank you for your understanding, support, and continued patronage. We truly appreciate each and every one of you! ❤️🍿🥤
