The Feeley Theater was owned by my great grandfather Andrew J Feeley and then by my grandmother Marie E Feeley. Although I was only 8 when it closed, I remember being allowed to explore the rooms and hallways of the theater and doing so was a great adventure for me. As a very young child, I remember seeing a live show in which a magician seemed to launch a live snake into the audience just as the house lights went out. I remember being terrified! I also remember seeing “Jaws” at the theater. The Feeley was for me a place of wonder and a concrete connection with my family’s past.
