Poncan Theatre
The Poncan Theatre is a historic theater in Ponca City, Oklahoma. It is individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is a contributing property of the Downtown Ponca City Historic District.
==History==
The Poncan Theatre was designed by the Boller Brothers and opened on September 20, 1927. The building and its equipment cost $280,000, and it housed a $22,500 Wurlitzer pipe organ. The building served as a combination vaudeville–movie theater from its opening until the late 1940s when the vaudeville component was discontinued.
In 1939, the marquee was replaced with a neon-lit one.〔 In 1954, the marquee was enlarged, obscuring much of the theater's second floor, and was enlarged again in 1962.〔 In 1985, the theater closed; in 1990, the Poncan Theatre Company was founded to revive it.〔 The building was renovated, which included the removal of the marquee in 1992 and replacement with one matching the 1927 original.〔〔 The theater reopened on September 18, 1994.〔
The theater was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 13, 1984. It was nominated for its local significance as the finest example of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture in Ponca City and its role as an entertainment venue. In 2001, additional documentation on the theater was submitted, revealing that the theater was designed by the Boller Brothers, not John Duncan Forsyth as originally identified in the 1984 nomination. In 2011, the theater was designated a contributing property of the newly listed Downtown Ponca City Historic District. At the time, the Poncan Theatre was the only site in the district previously listed on the National Register.
