RPI students want a movie theater and performance venue at Proctor's Theater.

Downtown Troy doesn't offer enough for RPI students. RPI has a plan to demolish a cool old movie house a block away from the downtown dorms. There is a group that is trying to convince the RPI administration to let them renovate the theater and start showing films and having bands and other events at the theater. Such a venue would increase nightlife in downtown, give students something to do and make the area safer. We ask the administration to allow this theater to be renovated and to help provide a movie theater and performance venue for a better student life in Troy.

    • RPI spends millions of dollars erecting buildings that the students aren't really able to use (e.g. EMPAC), and yet the school tears down movie theaters which could be used by the students! This is ridiculous, and the administration needs to start thinking about the students for once...

    • Proctor's Theater is a beautiful example of the historic architecture indicative of downtown Troy. Why has it remained vacant for so long?

    • This building was built in 1914! It would be a shame if this great piece of history ended up being destroyed...

    • Please, please, please, don't tear down Proctors. That building is cooler than anything you could possibly build there, even if you slapped up another Biotech. Turn it into a movie theatre, students will go. We love Rev Hall, we'd love Proctor's too if it put on shows. Vaudeville theatre is such a unique piece of culture, don't destroy it.
