Historic Scott Theatre

Ethel and William Luckett were responsible for the construction of the Scott theater and they ran the business until Pete and Judy West took over in 1980. The West were the owners until 2002, this having been an important part of the entertainment of many generation in and around Scottsburg. In 2002, it was sold to Bill and Phyllis Duke, who cashed in all the old movie equipment, cameras, etc. They re-opened as a county music Jamboree. In 2006, the enterprise was acquired by Ron Ross and he and his family increased the popularity of the venue significantly.

The Luckett's made a dynamic couple who, in the 1930's and 1940's, ran theaters in Scottsburg and Austin. In 1938, they also developed a swimming pool entertainment complex that was located in the area of the intersection of North Gardener and Owen streets in Scottsburg.
