The Moon Theater in Stratton was constructed and opened in 1921. The theater seats a little over 200 people. It is currently owned by Doreen and Melvin Koons who purchased it in 1977 and closed it in 1994 due to lack of attendance and health issues.

It is still clean, in good repair and perfectly intact with concession equipment, seats and screen. The theater could be re-opened immediatly with the instalation of new projection equipment. The two carbon arc Ballantyne projectors were removed in the late 1990s by Mr. Koons who donated them to the city. One is now on display at the town hall and the other in the library in town. The Koons' still live in the housing quarters above the theater.

The theater was and is well loved and the Koons' made many improvements and updates. Several of the seats were reupholstered in the late 1970s. This theater is quite amazing to see.

I called the number that was listed on one site today as I thought the theater might have reopened. I spoke to a nice woman, probably Mrs. Koons, who lives above the theater. She confirmed that the Moon has been closed since 1994.

The Moon as it appeared in 1996, a couple of years post-closure - I wonder if the interior has been kept up?
