I was hired in high school first for concessions, then usher, then box office cashier and lastly was a part-time manager in college. Mid 1980s through early 1990s. Now a middle-aged man, it still is by far my favorite job. I worked there before during and after the art film experiment. Unfortunately she became a second run theatre near the end, but what an absolutely fantastic experience. Climbing the steps to the projection room, changing lenses after trailers, hanging over the marquee on the roof to change the letters…and I can still smell the popcorn. Best job in the world for a kid and some of my fondest memories. All my best – Jim Peiffer
