Episode description

Now that we've discussed the history of theaters in America and why so many were lost or abandoned, let's take a closer look at a specific one: the Victory Theatre in Holyoke, MA, which has been abandoned since 1979. I'm joined by my guest Matt Lambros, one of the country's foremost experts on abandoned theaters and creator of the After the Final Curtain podcast and book series, as we ask how one of America's richest towns lost so many of its important buildings, what are the plans for the future of the Victory, and why does its revitalization matter so much to the town?
