Does anyone know who the current owner of the Plaza Theater is and how to get in touch with him or her?

Well your memory is almost correct, The Plaza was built as a single screen theatre with 2 projectors almost facing each other while shootiing into a box of mirrors , this was called ultravision which gave a very clear picture all across the super large screen.

In around 1974 the second theatre was added and in 1978 theatre one was split into 2 theatres
the theatre ran only one screen for over 90 days while crews worked day and night to get theatres 1 and 3 open as fast as possible
I remeber before that many movies that played attracted large crowds but no of them compaired to the little ol' movie that started in June of 1977 that had people lined up for hours to see Star Wars..
I grew up working with my dad along with many life long friends in this theatre and missed the days where it was the showcase of Columbus
