The Majestic Theatre is now owned by a non-profit group that uses it for live performances and alternates the programming with family films on weekends. They have also spent some
money to upgrade and remodel the theater.

I commend the group that now owns the Majestic theatre. You are doing a great job. Wishing you continued success.
They have done a beautiful job on restoring this theatre but I don’t see any handicap accessabilities.
There are a couple local legends about the theater:
During the 1918 Spanish influenza epidemic, the theater supposedly served as a makeshift morgue. Blood emptied from flu victims prior to embalming was poured out in the alley beside the theater, earning it the name “Blood Alley.”
There’s also a ghost of a girl in blue who’s said to sometimes sit in the audience during a show. She’s supposed to have a favorite seat and take it badly if someone sits there.
This is another photo of the Majestic.
a small fire started on the stage tonight. it was put out by performers on stage.
Really nice picture. retroguy,Where were the Stagehands! if they are like my union brothers i bet they were out back on a smoke break.lol.
Does anyone know if the Arch with the Majestic name is still there?
It is still there. I was a projectionist for the Majestic back in the early 70’s. The 4th floor was a museum in itself with many original posters from the early days of theater.
