Had seen Karate Kid part 2 here, Ewoks caravan of courage (which had a cinema release) Terminator 2, Alien3, Ghostbusters and many more films, I made a comment here in 2008, I hear there will be showings in August this year 2017, hope to make it down to see it again in its state of former glory. I also forgot to add I remember seeing I believe Rowena’s partner if I’m not mistaken as a young child a man with grey hair in a black suit with a bow tie ripping the tickets just before we went in to see a movie. Also kids used to sit in the side boxes and throw Jaffas that I ate at the time :D

I visited Wollongong at the start of 2007 and had tried to leave a comment here, but maybe I had not gone through the correct procedure, anyway, I used to live around the corner from the theater on Smith street one block away from Keira street, and I have to say my earliest memories as a child growing up were of this theater and seeing films at that point in time, when most of the buildings around it looked similar to the theater itself and at the time crown street was a road for cars and not the paved over mall it is today, I very upset to see this theater gone as it was a rich cornerstone of my imagination growing up and I still have fond memories of it to this day..
