Joe, your thinking of the Cinema 9 theatre that was a ½ mile up the road from Sayrewoods. I worked there too, and I remember the old storage room that was converted. It had 15 seats. They called it a video lounge. You are right about that one being Primetime now. Sayrewoods was demolished and a country buffet sits in its place.
I remember there was a very small room downstairs near the snack bar with scattered chairs that showed and sold xxx video’s, a room where men went to be alone with a friend or be alone with Mr. Hand. Some small time porn stars and strippers would come in for an appearance there too for strip shows, it was never publicized as I remember. It was a very sleazy place though that was crawling with “givers” and few “takers”. Last I seen the place is a comedy club called Primetime.
Many, many times, Marilyn Chambers would grace the giant screen. RIP Marilyn, you will be missed.
Recall as a kid making a prank call to the theater about their showing porn…the crusty smoke voiced woman who answered told me off with a few f-bombs….
Theatre was showing “Joe Hill” a paramount picture, in November of 1971. One of the last regular pictures to play here.
I worked here as a projectionist from March of 1980 till April of 1989.
Theatre was an adult XXX theatre from 1973 until its closing in 1990.
