The Grand Auditorium in Ellsworth Maine is another Theater that will be celebrating this weekend. Unlike the Riviera Theater, that took three years to renovate, the Grand Auditorium is celebrating the retirement of their 70 year old projector. They are also celebrating the debut of two new projectors that will be replacing the old model. The two new projectors, one a film projector the other a digital projector, will be installed and used the day of the celebration. The festivities will also include a funeral procession for the retired model. The old projector will be on display in the main hall of the auditorium as a memorial to the 70 years of service it provided for the theater.
