Indiana Theatre
From Bloomingpedia
The Indiana Theatre was located at 114 E. Kirkwood Avenue, just off of the courthouse square in downtown Bloomington.
This theater was originally called the Indiana Theatre and was built in 1922. Originally, it featured a mix of vaudeville and silent movies. The famous local musician, Hoagy Carmichael, played at the Indiana.
In 1975, the Vonderschmitt Family sold the Indiana to Kerasotes Theatres. They closed the upper balcony and put in a second screen. Years later, Kerasotes closed the Indiana and vowed that movies could never be shown there again. In December 1995, Kerasotes gave the theatre to the Bloomington Area Arts Council, who then restored it and reopened it in 1999 as the Buskirk-Chumley.
