My name is Thomas Luca. My Uncle Ned Luca was given this Theater by his Father-in-Law Mr. Fiorovanti in the late ‘40s as a wedding gift who was previously proprietor.
I used to work at this Theater in the early 70’s as a Usher, and found more money between the seats then what I made hourly. I remember Joe Zupko, he was acting manager at the time, and really was a good guy! Maybe I will come back up there one day soon to see a show, Glad that it is still standing and open,,,,, It has a lot of Charm!!!
This was/is a really cute theatre. Went here a lot in the 70’s and early 80’s. Great memories.
I went to my first movie here as a toddler:
Funny Girl
also went to
Lords of the Flatbush
Rocky
Posideon Aventure
Was never as popular as Blue Star in Watchung….
This article provides details on the current owners and how they saved the theater.
