Cameo So. Weymouth / Shot of Marquee Winter 1984/85.
FYI – That’s the photographer’s (Roger Chisholm’s)Ford Pinto covered in Snow, taken about 6am on a Sunday Morning. He was busy taking photo’s when he should have been cleaning the theatre.
Loring Hall currently has seating for 325 patrons. 75 Balcony (snug) seats and 250 seats on the main floor. The Floors in the auditorium and balcony are all hard wood. The inside decor is stark white walls and ceiling with red retractable curtains covering the screen. Unfortunately in 1996 the curtain motor burned out and the company has decided to just leave the curtain in the open position. The seats are 1970’s style covered with red vinal to match the curtain. The seats are not comfortable for longer films. The site line are pretty good throughout the theatre. The A/C and Heating systems are very tempermental…sometimes this company goes weeks at a time without one or the other working. During heavy rains the roof does leak which may cause you to have to move your seat during the show. The theatre is not Hadicap accessible and the heating ducts show evidence of asbestos. The lobby is extremely small and there are no doors blocking sound from entering the auditorium, so if you sit toward the back of the theatre you can hear the staff doing there work (or goofing off).
