Airdome Theatre, White City, Savin Rock, Conn.

The Airdome Theatre was an open-air movie theater located at Savin Rock, a popular amusement park and resort area in West Haven, Connecticut. Savin Rock, known as "Connecticut's Coney Island," was a major entertainment destination from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century. The Airdome Theatre contributed to its appeal by offering a unique movie-going experience under the stars. Patrons could enjoy the latest films in a relaxed, outdoor setting, which was a popular concept during the early 20th century when indoor theaters were less common. The theater, along with the rest of Savin Rock, eventually declined and was closed as entertainment trends and infrastructure evolved.
