main street auditorium

Loved the little theatre, and was excited for the picture show explaining the area and set to music. Was disappointed because it sounded raspy, like a speaker was broken. So the voice explaining things sounded gravely. Hope they fix it soon. And we saw scenery in the area that was outstanding, and was hoping to see more of that on the screen. There were too many "dead and blurry" spots on the screen, I guess they were striving for poetic thought? Not bad for the price, but would like to see a little improvement.

Perhaps one needs to be from the San Juans and to have known people like Kuboske's daughter (she was my dorm mom decades ago) to fully appreciate this film. I liked how they played the old tunes at the beginning - I always loved the one about Joe and the Milky Way but had somehow forgotten that this took place in our own Black Canyon. The film showed some great local country and brought to mind the theme between many of the songs - the plow drivers of Red Mountain, for instance. It was cool to see Ouray through CW McCall's eyes. I do wish the definition was higher. I felt like something was lost because the pictures were not as dynamic as our eyes have grown accustom to in these high tech days. I loved the theater!

They were showing movies by C W McCall. He was famous in the 70's. I like him, you will. Too.

This was probably good 20 years ago. The theater is charming and the couple that run the theater are very nice. But once the "production" starts it is all down hill (pun intended). The production (music and video) are old, just old and faded and not interesting. Ticket prices should be from 1986 - not worth $8.
