The Flynn was built in the early 1920s as a vaudeville house and operated as Vermont's premier motion picture theatre for over fifty years before the rise of the multiplex forced it into decline.
It was carefully restored in the Eighties. Seating almost 1,500, it is once again at the top of the heap as the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts, hosting touring companies of Broadway shows and performers from all over the world.
I have personally seen George Carlin, Mandy Pantinkin, George Winston, The Nylons, Martin Landau in Count Dracula, and several productions by the Flynn's resident amateur musical theatre group, Lyric Theatre, which this very night opens its 35th year with A Chorus Line.
