Coligny Plaza is well known for its eclectic shops and restaurants. It is, more or less, Hilton Heads version of a boardwalk that you would see in many other coastal towns.
It is also the home of the Coligny Theatre, originally called The Island Theatre. It was for many years Hilton Heads first and only movie theatre.
With the 1980’s being the start of the multi cinemas along with the invention of the VCR and cable television, single theatres around the nation quickly closed their doors. The Island Theatre was no exception, after years of struggling, the theatre closed in late 1997.
The owner of Coligny Plaza decided in 2001 to re-open the theatre. It was renovated and renamed The Coligny Theatre and opened in March of 2002. The theatre mostly shows films by independent producers, and is targeted toward an upscale adult audience.
