I was the first Chief of Staff at this theatre and you have some of the facts wrong. The theatre opened in 1979 not 1976, I know this because I moved to Greensboro on January 19, 1979 to help open the theatre. I helped put the first movies on the marquee. It had snowed and was quite dangerous. I remember 3 of the first movies. North Avenue Irregulars, Class of Miss McMicheal, Every Which Way But Loose and I think Cinema 4 had George C. Scott’s “Hardcore”. Mr. Gray Jones was the manager. He passed away January 24th 2010. Rocky (I don’t remember his last name) was Mr. Jones' assistant manager.
