Carolina takes time-out to revamp
News & Observer, 27 May 2007
Durham's art-house movie lovers will have to venture
to Raleigh, Cary and Chapel Hill this summer for
independent and foreign films.
On Thursday, Carolina Theatre will shut down its
upstairs twin cinemas for maintenance and construction
upgrades. Fletcher Hall downstairs will follow suit
after comedian Steven Wright's June 6 performance and
a dance recital, June 9.
The construction work in the city-owned building
includes roofing repairs, heating and air conditioning
upgrades, mechanical work, and electrical and plumbing
modifications. The administrative offices and box
office will remain open.
The Carolina assures us that all the cinemas will be
open for business Aug. 3, plenty of time to get ready
for the annual N.C. Gay and Lesbian Film Festival,
which this year is running Aug. 23-26.
