Camp Chair Cinema

With our recent move to this beautiful little town we have come upon a couple of logistical problems. One, our new home has no room for our home theater; and two, Mayfield has no theater at all. Our solution: set up our theater for the town of Mayfield! We have spent the last month installing our theater components in Mayfield town hall. the mayor allowed us to use a room in the basement that is just perfect. We made sound treatments, curtains, light blockers, and component shelving. We have been having so much fun! The theater is called Camp Chair Cinema because everyone has to bring their own seating. Admission is $1, which will hopefully cover all the operating costs and repairs.

The grand opening is this coming weekend, with a double showing of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." I sure hope people will come! :)



This is the entrance - through the concessions lobby area. That is a suggestions/movie request board.

A shot of the theater area through the dividing curtain. It seats around 25 people.

This is the concessions area. And in the back right corner is the component cabinet.

We made the ruffly sound curtains with dowels and fabric, super cheap. The window is covered by a pressboard covered with batting and fabric. Very simple, and effective.

The black tape designates the center isle. We thought it would be a good idea to have a way for people to get in and out. The doors in the theater area are always closed and locked. That way you have to exit and enter via the concessions stand! *evil laugh...ha ha ha!!

Looking back from the screen into the lobby area. The curtains were difficult to make, and didn't turn out as well as I had hoped, but now I have experience for next time.
