Leeds Center for the Arts HISTORY: Leeds Theater was a single-screen movie theater in downtown Wi******er, Kentucky.

Located in the heart of Wi******er, KY, Leeds Center for the Arts sparks imagination, engages community, celebrates diversity, embraces empathy, and shares stories. One of Wi******er's first movie houses, the theater was purchased by S.D. Lee, president of the Wi******er Amusement Company on May 12, 1925 and opened with The Crowded Hour starring BeBe Daniels. It was later named in a contest after its first owner S.D Lee, by rearranging the letters of his name. The theater declined in both attendance and general upkeep, closing its doors in 1986. Shortly after, the Wi******er Council for the Arts restored the theater to its original appearance. The theater reopened in 1990 as Leeds Center for the Arts with new equipment, a larger stage, and the original paint color scheme of 1925. The theater remains one of Clark County's timeless treasures today, showing live music, films, and various musical and drama performances. AT LEEDS, OUR MISSION IS TO ENERGIZE THE COMMUNITY THROUGH THE BEAUTY AND EMOTIONAL POWER OF THE ARTS AND NEW EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES.
