The Mariemont Theatre expansion and renovation is complete with two new screens for a total of five theaters, lobby renovations, new restrooms and a remodeled concession stand.
Paul Muller, an architect, was responsible for moving the ticket window to the left and adding two movie poster boxes to the exterior facade of the building to add street visibility to current features.
To attract this enhancement the Mariemont Village Council approved a 12-year tax exemption for 100 percent of the increased value for the new theatres.
Gary Goldman, president of the Theatre Management Corp., which owns the Mariemont, Kenwood and Esquire theaters, said last year the two additional screens are expected to bring in thousands of new visitors to the Village that frequent our restaurants and other businesses.“
Dan Spinnenweber, whose company, Spinnenweber Builders, owns the theater building, has said the new auditoriums will bring the total seating to around 750, and the agreement also includes a 15-year lease with two, five-year renewal options.
The new auditoriums have stadium seating with comfortable chairs and digital projection, and Goldman has said they will continue to work with the Quarter Bistro next door to provide some food items for the theater.
From all standpoints this is a great contributor to making Mariemont a true city destination.
