    COLTON ANDERSON, Star Theatre|Dec 13, 2023

    Hello, everyone. I’m happy to share the news that as of January 1st, 2024, Gold Junction Presents will become the new proprietors of the Star Theatre.

This weekend was the busiest the theater has been in the seven years I have operated the Star; it’s a great reminder of why the theatre is important to our town.
