My name is Thomas Luca. My Uncle Ned Luca was given this Theater by his Father-in-Law Mr. Fiorovanti in the late ‘40s as a wedding gift who was previously proprietor.

I used to work at this Theater in the early 70’s as a Usher, and found more money between the seats then what I made hourly. I remember Joe Zupko, he was acting manager at the time, and really was a good guy! Maybe I will come back up there one day soon to see a show, Glad that it is still standing and open,,,,, It has a lot of Charm!!!

This was/is a really cute theatre. Went here a lot in the 70’s and early 80’s. Great memories.

I went to my first movie here as a toddler:

Funny Girl

also went to

Lords of the Flatbush
Rocky
Posideon Aventure

Was never as popular as Blue Star in Watchung….
