About the Plaza Theatre
Designed by architect George Harwell Bond, the Plaza Theatre opened on December 23, 1939, as an art deco cinema and live theater space. Located at 1049 Ponce De Leon Ave N in Atlanta, Georgia. In the 1970s, the Plaza became an X-rated adult cinema and live burlesque theatre until it was purchased in 1983 by movie theatre entrepreneur George LeFont. This era witnessed an influx of independent, foreign, and art-house movies that would become the norm until the present. The Plaza Theatre is an Atlanta landmark and the city’s longest continuously operating movie theatre located at 1049 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30306.
