SAVING MARCELINE, MISSOURI'S UPTOWN THEATRE - Disney Podcast Episode 1121

DIZNEY COAST TO COAST: Disney Talks with Rose-Colored Glasses Removed

Disney fans rejoice. On this episode, I’m chatting with Ed Comber from Next Stage Preservation. At Next Stage Preservation, they’re working to bring Marceline, Missouri’s Uptown Theatre back to life. Marceline, Missouri is the boyhood hometown of Walt Disney, and the Uptown Theatre is a cinema on Marceline’s Main Street where Walt and Roy premiered “The Great Locomotive Chase”. The Uptown Theatre has a long history, but sadly, in recent years it has fallen into disrepair. A lot of money and work will need to go into bringing it back to life, and Ed is working hard to make that a reality. He’s already had some success getting the Uptown Theatre on the National Register of Historic Places, which is no small feat. Listen as Ed and I discuss the theatres' history, the small town of Marceline, Missouri, and what Ed envisions for the reopening of the theatre during its 100th anniversary. That and so much more on this episode.
