Monthly Luncheon featuring Tom Letness, Heights Theatre
The Heights Theatre was originally constructed in 1926 by Gluek Brewery heir Arthur Gluek as a prohibition real estate venture. Built in the Beaux Arts style of the last century, the Heights Theatre building was a simple neighborhood house running film full-time and showcasing local talent in stage plays in "High Class Amateur Vaudeville Acts." The Heights has survived at least three fires, one bombing and "The Big Blow of 1949" when a Fridley tornado twisted the tower sign.
Today, the Heights Theatre is privately owned and operated by Tom Letness. He and his business partner Dave Holmgren have completely renovated the theatre and now specialize in new quality foreign, independent and family-oriented Hollywood releases as well as classic revival and live entertainment.
The Heights Theatre was established in 1926 and is now the Twin Cities' longest continuously operated show house.
