In 1926, a local industrialist named Arthur Darman invested nearly one million dollars to build the Stadium Theatre and the adjacent office building in downtown Woonsocket, Rhode Island. He called the theater the Stadium in reference to its stadium style seating; which uses elevated rows to give every patron the luxury of feeling that they have the best seat in the house.
Not only did Mr. Darman fund the theater project, he also influenced its design. He chose an elaborate but stylish look that set the theater apart from what he felt were the gaudy movie houses of the day.
His preference was the eighteenth century neoclassical style, and it is evident throughout the building. Today the Stadium Theatre has been completely restored. Enjoy passes to a performance at this amazingStadium Theatre, Woonsocket, RI.
