Liberty Theatre Stories Shared by the Wilkes Community

At just 14 years old, George and Margaret Church shared their first date at the Liberty Theatre, a moment that blossomed into a cherished tradition over their remarkable 64-year marriage. Each visit to the Liberty was special, as they consistently chose to sit on the same side where it all began year after year.

It’s incredible to think about how many love stories have unfolded within our walls, each unique yet connected by the magic of cinema. While we may never know all of these captivating tales, we were lucky enough to be a part of George and Margaret’s.

With the passing of George Church on July 17th, 2025 we want to celebrate his love!- the Liberty Theatre Family 7/26/2025

“My Dad, Don Jarvis, bought the Liberty Theater when I was a freshman in High School after being closed for approximately one year. The theater has a lot of rich history and memories to many Wilkes County folks. My Dad worked there in High School and while he and my Mom were dating many of there dates were while he worked. My family worked together in the theater for many years. What a wonderful way to grow up! The theater today is now owned by others who want to keep the rich history and affordable pricing for all to enjoy going to the movies. The grant would be a blessing for Nick, David and Wilkes County.“- Donna Jarvis Kruckenberg 9/20/2024

“The Liberty Theatre has been a place I have enjoyed visiting since I can remember in my 57 years. I am old enough that I have watched movies from the balcony. My parents would drop my friends and I off to watch a movie knowing that it was safe. I have been able to bring my kids and grandkids to watch movies and play arcade games. Thank you Liberty Theater for all the great popcorn!”- Kim Waddell Johnson 9/29/2024

“Hi, so I am a mother of a 13 year old little boy, who unfortunately is wheelchair bound. So there’s not a lot of fun time activities for him to join. But over the years, the theater has been our fun time. We have held his birthday parties there for years, we enjoy the free summer movies! It’s our special time to go out and enjoy ourselves. Every time is always fun, and exciting. Especially now with the recent additions, like the handicap bathroom!!!! Made me love the theater even more, then theirs the staff who are amazing (junior, I’m talking about you!) I thank you for the memories we have already made and the many more to come. Thanks guys!”- Lauren 9/20/2024

“This theatre hold a special place in my heart! Liberty theatre hosts Spanish movies on select Tuesdays during the month. My parents speak mostly spanish. For the first time in our 30 years in this country, my entire family was able to fully understand a movie in the movie theatre. It was a spectacular view to watch my mother laugh along with us and understand the movie. I truly appreciate this! I hope they can continue to provide this treasured establishment to our community.“- Jessica 9/20/2024

“One of my first childhood memories in school is going to watch The Cat in the Hat at none other than the Liberty Theater. It is also where I went on my first official date in high school, my mom and I watched Twilight and Harry Potter annually throughout my high school years at this theater, and it’s where I went on my last high school adventure with friends to watch Monsters University. My current partner and I recently went to watch Inside Out 2 on date night and it brought back a flood of happy memories for me. The staff is, and always has been, friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere makes you feel at home. The Liberty is one of the best things about this small town-esque county we live in. My mom takes my kids there often, they love it as well. We love the Liberty!“- Destiny Greene-Hall 9/20/2024

“We moved to the area about 10 years ago and some friends told us about the Liberty Theatre.  We love it and have only gone to that movie theatre since.  It’s quaint, love the current and past owners.  They make you feel like you are wanted rather than just another customer coming through.  I also love that they do the free movies in the summer.  My son is older now but we definitely took advantage when he was younger”. -Vanessa Waddell 9/20/2024

“I absolutely love that i can drop-off high-school age kids for a movie knowing they are safe. Great prices always clean friendly stand and always great choices for movies. Affordable option for a party as well.”– Leah Dula 9/20/2024
