The lobby of the Branford Theatre on South Main Street has been converted into office space. The now-vacant auditorium will soon be converted into apartments according to a recent newspaper article.

The Branford Theatre seated once 993 people.

Another sad victim of the megaplex. This wasn't the most spectacular theater; its interior had no decorative appointments and was essentially just a boxy (but large) auditorium. But what Branford lost was a family-run, downtown theater that appealed to families and gave patrons a sense of community. Contrast and compare to the warehouse-looking, garish, overpriced megaplex just east of Branford that put this place out of business. By the way, that will be $5.00 for your small bag of popcorn, and another $5.00 for that small soda. Enjoy the show!

My first job out of college in 1980 was working in Branford, Conn. I worked for the local newspaper, the "Branford Review." I do remember this theatre well, though I lived in New Haven so I never went here. I remember my boss and her family all went to see "Private Benjamin" here though.
