Update: Guild Theatre closed until further notice
Menlo Park theater needs 'extensive repairs'
|
Shut down on Feb. 18, the Guild Theatre in Menlo Park remains closed due to water damage. The staff hopes to reopen on March 4.
General Manager Rachael Wordhouse-Dykema announced that the need for "extensive repairs" forced the theater at 949 El Camino Real to close until further notice.
"We're still working on figuring out just how extensive the damage is and what repairs are necessary to get us back up and running," Wordhouse-Dykema said when asked to estimate how much the repair work would cost.
Movies will play at the Aquarius Theatre, 430 Emerson St. in Palo Alto, until the damage is fixed.— Sandy Brundage Are you receiving Express, our free daily e-mail edition? See a sample and sign-up for Express.

Posted by Sylvia, a resident of the Midtown neighborhood, on Feb 24, 2011 at 10:51 am This is sad. I remember well the heyday of movies in Palo Alto, when we had the Varsity and the Bijou as repertory houses. I saw lots of great older and foreign movies at those venues. Of course, the Guild, the Aquarius and Palo Alto Square were doing newer movies. Any movie house that closes for any period of time is a loss.

Posted by Anon., a resident of the Crescent Park neighborhood, on Feb 24, 2011 at 5:52 pm I was just planning on seeing the "Barney's Version" movie, too bad, I'll have to see it somewhere else. I'm surprised the Guild survives. I don't want it to close, but it is the hardest place to park for, and the interior and seats are pretty bad, the prices are just as high.
