Avon Theatre

272 Bedford St Stamford CT 06901 (203) 967-3660

Information for this tour was contributed by Roger Katz.

The Avon was twinned in 1980 by making the balcony a separate theatre. Because state law at the time required a projectionist for every booth a theatre had, a second booth was not built. Instead a drop ceiling was installed in the former balcony, which was actually behind rather than above the main seats. The projector for the larger auditorium projects over the drop ceiling and the beam can just make it onto the screen. The projector for the balcony is angled sharply downward so the beam can get under the drop ceiling.

The murals in the larger theatre and lighting ornamentation in the balcony theatre both have a Pilgrim and Indian motif.
