Venetian Theatre, Historic movie theater and events venue in downtown Hillsboro, United States.
The Venetian Theatre spans two stories in an Italianate building, featuring multiple event spaces and a restaurant at 253 East Main Street.
Originally established as First National Bank in 1888, the structure transformed into a theater in 1911 under Mayor Orange Phelps and underwent reconstruction in 1925.
The theater marked a milestone in local entertainment by screening Hillsboro's first sound motion picture, The Broadway Melody, in 1929 to over thousand spectators.
The venue provides comprehensive services for weddings, corporate gatherings, and private celebrations with in-house catering and production support for up to 800 guests.
During the Great Depression, the theater supported the community by offering free holiday screenings while hosting graduation ceremonies and cooking demonstrations.
