The Earling

An old fashioned movie theater located in the downtown area of New Prairie.

Surviving The Fire of 1976

Originally built in 1942 but closed down a few days prior to the great fire of 1976, citing financial problems. After the fire, the theater suffered major damages and was remodeled to it’s former glory as one of the 15 New Prairie Historical buildings that J.P. Derelli deemed to maintain for future generations. It was reopened in 1978. Since then, the theater’s been blessed with a successful financial future.
