Very interesting having found this thread. I was an usher at the Beacon Hill from around 1975 to 1978. I’d love to hear from any old friends who worked there. Some of the things I remember the most and thought was so cool were the underground exits that catacombed along the right side when it was one big theater… and the candy girl that I fell in love with too… Lots of laughs, I also got chosen in Boston magazine for number 3 of the top ten most boring jobs in Massachusettes working as the ticket taker there when I was 15. It was just beginning to struggle badly in the late 70s with crowds of 45 normal on any given weeknight amd 80 on a weekend night in what I remember being an 837 seat theater but I could be wrong with that number (it was long ago and my mind was on the candy girl :) ). I’d be happy to answer any questions on this place or hear from the people who became my best friends that I’ve lost touch with.
