Many articles in the Gooding County Leader chronicle the history of this theater. Opened in 1921. It was owned by Charmianne and Lonnie Leavell, a local couple who planned to restore the theater and turn it into a cultural center for the community of Gooding; the couple later donated the theatre to a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit, GREAT, Inc. (Gooding Restoration for Entertainment, Arts & Theater).

The theatre contains murals.[3]

In 2017 its status is "closed" according to Cinema Treasures.[4]
