Stanley Entertainment
The Stanley Theater
Stanley is a unique small community in that it still has a theater operating on its Main Street. Operating the theater in Stanley has been a labor of love for the Dan and Cecilia Eslinger family, since Cecilia, her mother and brother purchased the theater in 1964. During the summer of 2003 the theater's facade was restored to its 1930's appearance, and restoration inside this historical theater continues every year.
The Stanley Theater features current movies. Call (715) 644-5988 to get information on the movie currently being featured at the theater.
