Passed this theater yesterday. Very depressing sight but seems to fit in with the town itself. A shell of what it once was.
I remember going with my cousins to see “West Side Story” there, in the summer of 1961 or ‘62, while it was still playing reserved-seat on Broadway in Manhattan. Always enjoyed going to the Broadway and Rialto theaters while vacationing in the Catskills each summer.

Made the annual visit to Monticello last week. The abandoned theater fits in very well with the equally depressing Broadway, the main street of Monticello.
