Alright guys and girls... I am in need of a little help. I am working on getting a single screen theatre back operating again. This is going to be a bit of work. Originally this theatre opened in 1939 with about 500 seats. It currently hold only 150 seats. The owners have installed rooms in the auditoriums to display ice sculptures. On top of these rooms are going to be balcany seats. It really going to be a nice set up. I am looking for advice and suggestions in renovating this theatre. I would appreciate you sharing any problems that you have run into while doing your projects so I won't make the same mistakes. We will be doing everythings from building a concession stand to hooking up the sound and projection system. Thanks in advance for your help. I will give you more details as I get them.

Don't forget "ASBESTOS ABATEMENT". Since it was built in 1939, it may have been retrofited somewhere along the way with asbestos. If it's there.... you'll more than likely have to have it removed.There is a great old single screener on the town square in my home town that'll seat 1000 people, and it has been closed down for years. My wife and I looked into buying it as well as the drive-in, but the entire theatre is full of asbestos. It would've cost more to get rid of the stuff than it would've cost to buy the place. It might be worth it to just check on it. ------------------ Barry Floyd Floyd Entertainment Group Lebanon, Tennessee Stardust Drive-In Theatre Watertown, Tennessee

Jerry,Sorry that is supposed to read "auditorium." It was a typo. As for the ice sculptures they are inside inclosed rooms/display areas that are at a colder temp then the rest of the building. And yes they will be able to see the ice sculptures in between shows. I will submit pictures within a week so you guys can see what I am talking about. Also currently the building meets are fire and building codes. They are open for business for the "Ice Musuem." To see some of the type of sculptures you can go to www.icealaska.com That park is owned by the same people that own this theatre. As it is being used currently for an indoor Ice Show. ------------------ -Joshua Lott :)
