This theatre runs nightly with occasional matinees…a great deja vu of a nice small town theatre

NOTE: also the premiere of the Japanese cartoon film “AKIRA” was run there…I was the projectionist for AKIRA as a sideline to bldg. manager and engineer.

sounds like it is going to go by the wayside for the theatre part anyway…I was the very last manager of the whole building…and locked it up in 1990…too bad because we had a very viable building at the time….I knew that place inside and out very well….practically lived there, I spent so much time there day or night…even ran the projectors on certain occasions after it pretty much went to live shows…..still am involved with cinema theatre in Iowa…(digital projector nowadays) Dave at
