My name is Leonard and the Whittwood Theatre my first job which started in November 1980 when I was 16 years old! Like a few others here, I was there until the last day that it operated though I continued on with Pacific until early 1991. This theatre was such a fun time for me, I lived on Scott Ave and to get to work all I had to do was hop over the cinder block wall between the apartment building and the back of the theatre. I like to joke that the first black eye I ever had was caused by the capital letter E. A few times I had to change the marque and once while on a ladder I didn’t quite have clips of one of the raised plastic letters hooked onto the marque and it slipped striking me right below my eye. It might not have been an E, but I had to pick a letter to make it easier to tell the story!
