Opened in the 1930’s, this theater, the last of four in Harriman, closed in 2001. However, it is being restored by actor Muse Watson (the guy with the hook in “I Know What You Did Last Summer”), who lives in the area, and planned to reopen it sometime in the fall of 2003 as a movie house and performing arts center. Renovations continue in 2010.

So that is what is going on.Why would he change his name.Are you going to Terry.
tlcloews,I can guarantee you that Ken Mc is not Lost Memory, he was part of Lost Memories frustration with Ct. We lost one of the greatest contributors to CT when Lost Memory decided to leave the site.
O.K. Chuck, I said I could be wrong,but I am not the only person who had that impression, and I agree he did contribute a LOT to C.T.as you do and many others.And no Mike I am going to keep my handle as you are only to use one on C.T.as is their policy.Now back to the Princess theatre,will drive over to check it out when they reopen.

Restoration is under way at the Princess Theater in Harriman, TN. The seats were recently removed and roof work has begun. The facade and marquee is next.
Then, what we’ve waited for, the real restoration work begins inside.

The comments made by Richard Saffles are somewhat misleading. Muse Watson is not personally restoring the Princess. It was a project born from a mutual dream held by both Muse and Gary Baker of Harriman. That dream was to reopen the Princess and give her a new purpose – to provide arts education to the children of the Roane and surrounding county areas. The project was funded by a Tennessee grant and money contributed by TVA after a disastrous ash spill. The theater will be operated by Roane State Community College and educational funds will keep the water and lights on!
Muse and Gary are integral parts to the restoration, and continue to drive the dream forward. Visit http://princesstheater.blogspot.com to keep up with the restoration progress.
