Alamo Theatre marks 105 years
The Alamo Theatre on Main Street in Bucksport turned 105 on Feb. 18. That makes her the second oldest still-standing theater in the state of Maine, according to Northeast Historic Film Executive Director David Weiss.
Northeast Historic Film is the parent organization of The Alamo.
The Alamo is surviving her second pandemic, the first being the 1918 flu outbreak, thanks to the generosity of supporters who have continued their memberships despite the temporary closure.
The theater closed March 14, 2020, and hopes to reopen when it is safe to do so, according to Weiss.
“So, in keeping with tradition, we’re closed for the pandemic,” Weiss quipped. However, the 1918 closure was for about six weeks.
