Post 4- Justin Walton- Coleman Theatre

     This building has it's history on  Route 66 in Miami, OK. The Coleman Theatre is on the Nation Register of Historical Places. It was built in 1929 by George L. Coleman Sr. Miami, OK is about 10 miles from my hometown and this a site that I would see every time I drove through Miami. Through elementary school we had an annual fire prevention program/play held by the firefighters of Miami, OK. They would dress as clowns and do all kinds of funny skits and would use the theatres features to do certain acts. They would use the giant pipe organ, trap doors on the stage, and the entire 1600 seat theatre to make us laugh. The Coleman is still used to hold plays and haunted houses. Although some consider it to be legitimately haunted.
