WAYNESBORO, VA — The first Zeus Digital Theatre opened in Waynesboro on October 8. Complementing its name, the theater has a lobby reminiscent of ancient Greece, all stadium seating, and eight screens (the article mistakenly says ten), two of which are 3D capable.

Economists say they see the potential, but the size of the impact will depend on how much new spending the theater generates in the city as opposed to revenue from patrons who would have spent money elsewhere.

“This an amenity that has been missing for quite some time,” Assistant City Manager Jim Shaw said. “It will be good for our citizens and continues to make Waynesboro a draw in the region.”
