Theaters wanted

I suppose it’s a long shot, but if you are the Cyndi Lauper I have idolized for years and you want to open a theatre I will come every day and clean and polish it for nothing. Cyndi rules!!!!!!

Check Out the Joy Theatre in Mt. Joy, Lancaster County, PA and the Marietta Theatre in Marietta, Lancaster County, PA. Both are listed on this website. The Joy Theatre is for sale. It is in fairly decent shape considering it has not been used in over 40 years. The seats are gone, but the building has been maintained. Even the murals are still on the auditorium walls. I have pictures of the outside and inside of this theatre. The Marietta Theatre is currently being restored by the Historic Marietta Restoration Association. I know now that they are in the midst of that project, they still have no plans what they are going to do with the theatre when it is ready for use. Lancaster County is about 60 miles West of Philadelphia and only about 25 miles East of Harrisburg, the state capital. Either one would be an ideal candidate for operation.

The Ritz Theatre in Elizabeth New Jersey is up for sale after undergoing major renovations. I know the projection room needs minor work, and the stage house is ready to support some road shows, concerts, plays etc.

the ventnor twin down the south jersey shore, and the westmont in haddon twp nj are both sitting begging for some one to return them to there former glory…..and i just so happen to be a 6 year theater manager, projectionist who would love to chip in

Hey CyNdi, regarding the Ritz in Elizabeth, I am a projectionist of 33 years as well as a stagehand. A bunch of us would love to see this place up and running again. It is in the center of downtown, and has a multi-story parking deck right next door to the theatre.

The phone number to the theatre is 908-351-7575. It is located at 1148 East Jersey Street Elizabeth N.J. The man who was my contact no longer works there, but I,m sure someone can help you. Supposedly there is a myspace page for it also. Myspace.com Ritz Theatre Elizabeth. I hope you succeed. I have visiomned this place as a showplace for plays, movies and concerts since I first stepped back into it 3 years ago.

I am fundraising and looking for a theater to buy, manage, occupy, lease, or rent in the Los Angeles area to continue the 50 year legacy of my parents, whose theater was demolished, under color of law, by the Los Angeles Community Redevelopment Agency on my birthday in September 1998 — 10 years ago — I attempted to visit globx.com but there are no theatre listings there and the domain name is for sale. longislandmovies, please post a corrected url. Thanks.

Cyndi… PLEASE try the San Francisco and Bay Area; there are some real “butes” available and in nice shape! Good Luck.

Very well put newt.

If someone could contact them am willing to invest

The 500 seat sounds promising, and no problem in you working if i could find out who to contact, thank you

cyndi did you find a theater yet

Hi CyNdi, I had emailed you two pictures of the Joy Theatre in Mt. Joy, Pa. It has been closed since the late 1960’s, but the building has been maintained. Mt. Joy, Pa. is located in Lancaster County midway between Lancaster and Harrisburg. I know a while ago I was talking to Stacy Rutherford in the Main Street Mount Joy office and they were really willing to work with anyone to get the theatre reopened. Her email address is Also the Marietta Theatre in Marietta, Pa. which is about 10 miles West of Mt. Joy is currently being restored by the local Marietta Restoration association. I know the last time I had read about the progress they were looking for someone to take over the theatre when the work was done. I can send you more pictures of the Joy Theatre. I would really like to see either one of these two theatres reopened. Both theatres are listed on this website. The Joy Theatre has two businesses in the building and I believe seven apartments on the 2nd floor. The real estate office is located in what was the theatre lobby and foyer. As I said I can send additional pictures.
Call me determined!!!!! Thanks

Cyndi – Maybe she no longer works there. The office is still listed in the latest phone book. It is Main Street Mount Joy, 15 Marietta Ave., Mount Joy, PA 17552. The Phone number is (717) 6534227. They have an internet site www.msmj.org I am going to check that out as soon as I submit this. Thanks for trying. Once again, just call me determined!!!!!

Cyndi, I just read one of your responses earlier. This theatre in Islip, NY is an older theatre that is closed and town is behind this theatre to reopen. Please let me know.

There is a old theatre built in 1880 that I know of. 1300 seats approx. On a major roadway in Gloucester County NJ. Has a ton of potential. Town wants someone to do something with the building and restore it back to its former glory. If not I am afraid they will knock it down. It needs some work. Being in the entertainment business myself. I would love to help you out in anyway possible. If you would like more information I can email it to you.

i run the pitman theater and with talk of the movies on there way out i would love to help out in south jersey continuing what i have started in pitman what theater in gloucester county is this

thanks ,, good luck this one is now taken care of
