‘It’s Going To Be Amazing’: Talking with Scene One’s Joe Masher about the Playhouse [Q&A]

By |

Following approval last month from the town’s funding bodies, Scene One New Canaan LLC will take over from CinemaLab as operator of the iconic and beloved Playhouse movie theater on Elm Street. We talked to Scene One owner and CEO Joe Masher about his plans for The Playhouse. 

Here’s a transcription of our interview. ***

New Canaanite: Tell us a little bit about your vision for The Playhouse in New Canaan. 

Joe Masher: We take over on March 12th and we’re really looking very forward to it. I can’t wait. I operated the playhouse as the chief operating officer of Bow Tie Cinemas for many years, from 2006 until the pandemic closure.
