It crosses generations and it’s timeless, which is kind of what we’re going for here,” Judge said.Īccompanying The Wizard of Oz screening will be vaudeville and novelty shows, as well as a pit orchestra. “I picked The Wizard of Oz for the actual centennial because I thought it was the most appropriate thing to celebrate. The Somerville Theatre is screening The Wizard of Oz May 11. They trust us we have a good projectionist.” “We can get film from archives - the Library of Congress - that normally wouldn’t lend out a film to a regular movie theater because they’d probably destroy it. It has to be run reel to reel the old-fashioned way,” Judge said. “Most of the stuff we’re playing for our centennial is archival film. It began serving beer and wine in 2007, which has helped pay for millions of dollars worth of renovations, especially to the antique original theater.ĭespite adding digital projectors to each theater, it has kept its old projectors and three projectionists to operate them, allowing the theatre to play reel film. In the past 10 years, Judge said the theater has been doing markedly better. We’ve always kind of been able to roll with the punches.” “The city got funkier in the last quarter century, and our programming has had to get funky, too, and it has to appeal to lives around here. “All of the changes we make reflect the community around us, and I think that’s how we’ve remained relevant, remained part of the fabric of Somerville,” Judge said. What it plays has evolved to reflect Somerville, which Director Ian Judge said has helped it stay alive.
