About

History of foster theater The Ames (Star) Theater (1915–1966) Built in 1915, the Foster Theater originally opened as the Star Theater, a single-screen neighborhood cinema with about 300 seats. Portland gathered under the Star’s marquee for an evening of entertainment, making it a local fixture on Foster Road. At first, it only showed silent films, but in 1929 it started showing “talkies.” It eventually closed its doors in late 1966, ending a 51-year run as Foster Road’s beloved picture palace. The Day Theater (1967–2010) In 1967, the owners of a neighboring music shop—the Day family—bought the shuttered theater and gave it a new lease on life.
