I think it gives the current seating as 620.
They have a Facebook page called Theatre Dublin. It says they will have a website soon: www.theatredublinga.com but it is not active yet. Elvis impersonator Ben Portsmouth recently played there.
Correction, Ben Portsmouth will be playing there August 8th.
I did enjoy going to the movies at the Martin Theater in 1957, when I would spend time in the summer with my aunt and uncle in Dublin. I would walk from their house out by the old hospital to town, times were different then. The theater had separate entrances, one for downstairs and one for the balcony. I have seen the theater sense it has been restored and now is known as the Dublin Theater, it looks great, good job in saving a treasure.

I passed through Dublin this week and was surprised to see that this old Martin location is once again a full time operation. They still do live shows, but at all other times it is a full time, small town, single screen movie theater. According to the employees who were nice enough to let me look around, it has been this way since November 2017. On the day of my visit they were showing Jurassic World. Here’s hoping they can compete with the Carmike / AMC west of town.
I have posted some pictures from my visit in the photo section.
