Roger Katz commented about Village Players Theatre on Dec 18, 2019 at 6:12 pm

This theatre remains open. It stages live productions but still shows classic movies every weekend. It is now called the Village Players Theatre. There is a page on their website that gives a very detailed history of the building, which originated as a church. The address is 51 Glendon St.

I just read the comment above mine… 119 E Main makes sense.

Roger Katz commented about Park Theatre on Dec 5, 2019 at 5:58 am

107 E Main would place this theatre on the other side of the Grand, which was at 113 E Main. The address here would then be 115 or 117 E Main.

Country Cinemas has been sold and closed for renovations. It is scheduled to reopen this spring with its new name, the Watertown Stage.

Actually, I stand corrected as their immediate goal on there is $35,000. But the renovations will cost over $1 million total.

The Art Cinema closed this past January for “upgrades” and has not reopened yet, nor is reopening imminent. There is currently a GoFundMe campaign attempting to raise over $1,000,000 to cover the renovations.
