The Mohawk Theatre is an icon in the City of North Adams. I had the great opportunity of working there as a teenager. I sat many evenings in that tiny ticket booth, and on “dollar nite” the lines were as far around the corner as you can see. Sometimes if you were lucky, “Tony”, the long time manager would let us sneak up to the balcony with friends. The theatre always smelled like popcorn and oddly, my grandmothers' closets!! It was a sad day when the theatre closed. Years later I was fortunate to be involved with the Theatre’s Marquee Restoration a few years back, and when the lights were finally lit again, it was a jewel. But, the theatre is not complete yet, the city is in the stages of restoring the theatre check out www.mohawkttheater.com
