History
The Tara Theater opened in June 1968 by Loew's Theaters. It embodies a popular modernist architecture at the time. Originally named Loew's Tara , the name of the theater perpetuates the fictitious Tara plantation, the O'Hara's home in Margaret Mitchell's novel Gone with the Wind. Tara opened with a stereophonic 70mm presentation of the Gone with the Wind movie on a 60-foot screen. Single screen with seating for 1200 is then twin. In the 1970s, one of the twin theaters was twins themselves, and a separate fourth theater was added to the building. The theater became part of a local Lefont theater group in the 1980s. By the end of the decade, United Artists Theaters bought Tara and used parts of the building as a regional corporate office until United Artists, along with Edwards Theaters, joined the new parent company Regal Entertainment Group in 2002, but still operated under the United Artists label. Shortly after, Tara was renovated to showcase silver, streamlining modern-inspired details in the interior and above the foyer, fake art deco advertising, and large hanging portraits of classic Hollywood stars like Greta Garbo, Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman and Charlie Chaplin.
