Gloversville Theatre Corporation

Built in 1914 as a vaudeville house, by Utica based architect Linne Kinne, the Glove became the flagship theater of the Schine nationwide movie empire in 1920, the largest movie house chain in the country at that time (a precursor to AMC, Bowtie, Landmark, and Regal). Additionally, the City of Gloversville was connected to early Hollywood as both Louis B. Mayer and Samuel Goldwyn worked in leather manufacturing here before going into the movie business separately, later joining forces with Metro Pictures to establish Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM).

The Glove Theatre eventually closed and sat in disrepair for several decades. In the 1990s community members worked together on renovating and restoring the space. However, due to a lack of investment, it paused the board of directors' vision. Currently, the City of Gloversville is experiencing a physical and cultural revival and The Glove Theatre is part of it. The General Manager will help grow the theatre as it re-establishes itself as a multifaceted venue in the community and the region in the city’s downtown.
