I worked at the PlayHouse as an usher for two seasons in 1963 and 64. (summers). My aunt was the theater’s manager and my grandfather was the tickettaker for Tuesday matinees. The projectionist was an old guy whose name I can’t remember— he would sit in the lobby in one of the elegant upright chairs (pre-candy counter) and go upstairs as the theater was filling. His belt was way above the waistline.

I enjoyed my infrequent visits to the booth… it probably got me into my lifeline career of being on the AVSquad. It was run by Prudential Theaters
