I grew up in the UC theatre, saw my first movie(s) there. I knew no peace like the peace of sitting in my favorite seat, watching Das Boot, or some other great film. I was lucky enough to work there as assistant manager up until she went dark for the last time. A glorious time, spent with the most amazing people. There are a million stories about the UC theatre which need to be told. I am now in the process of doing so, and would love to get some imput from you, the faithful who remember the life of that once great movie house. Please email me anything you feel like sharing @
I have a lot of files and historical information and other goodies from the theatre I’d love to share, so drop a line.
When I put “Hello, I must be going” on the marquee, I never thought it would be the last hurrah. Sadly, it appears that they are gutting her as I write this and that she’s through as a movie theatre. Contact me if you’d like to know why the theatre really closed. It’s a sad tale, but one that needs be told.
The UC is coming back to life, as a live music venue…

One that I miss daily.
The Act 1 and 2 used to be a furniture store, until gutting by fire in 1970.
I put this was in my post of 4/8/04, but here it is again, I look forward to hearing from you.
I knew that seat well, the one with leg room. Mind was 2/3rd’s back, next to the wheelchair spaces. Had the best sound.
I still have those 4 chairs
