But, as a result of the ongoing pandemic, the historic single-screen movie theater in the coastal New Jersey town Bradley Beach — which opened as the Palace in 1915 hosting vaudeville acts, switched to film exhibition in 1925 and has gone by numerous other names since then, most recently the ShowRoom — was forced to close in 2020.
"From first-run films to live performances, the revamped Bradley will be leading th charge with the latest technology and a hometown feel, while providing a boutique theatrical experience for Bradley Beach and the surrounding community," Wilson said in a statement."Getting into this side of the business has been a passion project of mine for a long time and I'm excited that I can contribute in my own backyard.
Bradley Beach mayor Larry Fox added,"Main Street in Bradley Beach, and for that matter America, has taken some real hits with the pandemic. Our Main Street Task Force has already been focused on improvements, and the potential for a professional entertainment group for the theater couldn't be better news.", the property will be expanded from a single screen to include three auditoriums, a large stage for live events, event space and more.
Ok.
