FALLON — One of the oldest theaters in Northern Nevada is facing foreclosure.

The Fallon Theatres opened in 1920 as the vaudeville and silent-movie house in the rural town about 60 miles east of Reno.

The Reno Gazette-Journal reported that the theater is scheduled to be auctioned at the Churchill County Courthouse on April 11 unless owners Bob and Mary Beth Erickson reach a refinancing agreement with their lenders.

Erickson said he has a balloon debt payment and has been unable to keep up with the cost of upgrading equipment and other business losses.

The 10,000-square-foot complex with two screens is the only movie theater in Churchill County.

Grand Traverse County Sheriff Michael Shea said a motive behind the attack by Bradford Gille, 42, of Afton, Michigan, remains unclear. Gille, who Shea said had “prior assaultive incidents as well as controlled substance violations,” said very little as he was arrested.
