Marquis Theater

This is a 2006 photo of the Marquis Theater.

I believe that the Marquis theater opened as the Campus theater. It was later named the Campus Cinema. This is a 1979 photo of the Campus Cinema on Main St. in Middlebury, VT.

This was the Campus. In the mid-80s, the theater was twinned by sectioning off the underside of the balcony, with a new projection booth added in the back. I spent every summer nearby and went to the Campus many times. The balcony was never open any time I went there. Right up to the early 90's, the Campus was owned by the Graphic Circuit which had several sites in VT, NH, and ME, including the nearby (now demolished) Midd-Haven Drive-In.

On the real estate website, it gives the Seating Capacity as 297. Is that total seats or per theater? This theater must be in the high rent district. :)

Hello ALL,

Does anyone know if this theatre could also handle live performances? Apparently it has been divided "The elegant way" (If there could be a 'good' way to describe dividing a theatre). The division is under the balcony instead of IN the balcony. I seen this done in another Vermont theatre...the Latchis. In that case it was superbly done. The resulting theatre under the balcony is very small, but in a pinch, this is the best way I have seen a theatre divided. Most opt to convert the balcony and as such it destroys the grandeur of the theatre. The Latchis is a must see as the conversion is very tastefully done and unobtrusive.

Was passing through on a cycling trip recently. The marquee looks playful, like an Art Deco lollipop. It was closed when I was there but was going to open up for movies at night, well after I was gone.

The Campus Theatre opened in 1940, the second screen was added in 1990. From what I found the name change to the Marquis Theatre happened in 2000. Address is 65 Main St.
