At a time when historic theatres and auditoriums - particularly in traditional school buildings -- are being demolished in large numbers across Ohio, here’s a great example of how an existing theatre can be brought back to productive life.

The video below shows the interesting story of the re-birth of the 55-year-old “Main Street Theatre” in downtown Columbiana.  The renovation project shows obvious attention to highlighting period details, while providing updates that appeal to the modern movie customer.  Films shown at the theatre include both modern blockbusters (Batman: The Dark Knight is currently playing), as well as classic films and live performances.
