Over 100 years of stories in one building 🎭🎶 The Wildey Theatre opened in 1909 as an opera house, later hosted vaudeville shows and the first talking movies, and even spent decades as a neighborhood cinema before closing in the ’80s. After a restoration in 2011, it’s now a 325-seat performance venue where you can catch concerts, jazz nights, and classic films, all under ornate Art Deco ceilings. It’s nostalgic, it’s electric, and it’s pure Edwardsville. 📍 @wildeytheatre | @riversandroutes @en
