MT. LEBANON, PA — Formed in 2008, the Denis Theater Foundation was formed to save the Denis Theater which opened in 1937 and closed in 2004 as a quad. The foundation hopes to raise $2.5 million to acquire the heater, and then reopen it in phases.
The foundation’s project to resurrect the Denis, which opened in 1938 and closed in disrepair in 2004, started in the spring of 2008. Shortly after the fundraising project began, the economy took a dive, and efforts at raising money ground to a halt, Ms. Kemerer said.

I’m hoping this place can get renovated.
We have several new, surplus NEC Starus NC1500C DLP digital projectors for sale.
They are rated at 11,000 lumens and spec’d for screens from 26ft – 48ft wide.
We will sell them for a fraction of the original retail price.
We also have the bulbs for these projectors.
We will warranty the projectors for 6 months.
I have attached the PDF spec sheet for your review.
Please contact me if you are interested.
Thank you for your time and best of luck with your theater project.
