Actually, the Campus Theater is NOT also known as the Varsity Theater. The Campus Theater building is located on Moro east of Manhattan Ave. The Varsity Theater was an entirely different building, located at the T-junction of Moro and Manhattan Ave. Both are closed…not sure what the Campus Theater is any more, but the Varsity Theater was purchased by Varney’s bookstore and turned into more retail space.

Although called the Wareham Hotel, the building next door is actually apartments. Lived there for several years—charming old hotel rooms, built like bunkers. In addition to dinner theater, they do live music at the theater. Also, in addition to the Campus Theatre now closed, there used to be Varsity Theatre—more likely to be the one you’re thinking of that is near the campus and used to be a dollar theater. Moro—the main drag for college drinking in town, dead ends in the Varsity. The Varsity is closed, too. The bookstore next door, Varney’s, bought the theater and turned it into more retail space.
