Towne Theatre Interior: Projection Rooms

Not unlike the projection room of the Monarch Theatre, the projection rooms of the Towne Theatre in Medicine Hat, Alberta were a lot of fun to explore.

I made my way from the lobby into the main floor projection room and then up to the larger projection room for the smaller cinemas upstairs. There was a lot that remained unchanged. From trivia slides, Landmark Cinema strips of film leader, old bulbs, and whiteboards with screening times still written on them, it was amazing to get a behind the scenes look at a part of the theatre that I'd never seen when it was open.

Excellent pictures! My first job (1998-2000) was working for Landmark Cinemas (Towne Theater, Monarch, Redcliff Drive-In) as an Usher/Projectionist/Concession Worker, and yes usually all three titles in the same shift. These photos brought back great memories. Thank You!
