Shalu Theater

Locations

Shalu Theater (沙鹿戲院) was established in 1929 as Myōbu-dai (妙舞臺) or Shinkō-gekijō (新高劇場). It could accommodate 500 audience members and was generally more of a performance venue until movies became more popular in the post-war era. It was renamed sometime after the war and seemingly demolished at some point in the 1960s. Wutai Alley (舞台巷) is named after this theater. It lives on in the collective memory of local residents through some murals painted on the walls of Shalu Dream Street (沙鹿夢想街) a little further south and east of the original location.
