The
ticket and concession counter at the Railroad Square Cinema, an art theater
in Waterville, Maine, was designed and executed by Tamar Etingen with
assistance from cabinetmaker, Dan Bloomer. The project was part of a
community effort to replace and enhance this valuable cultural resource
in Central Maine, after a fire destroyed the original theater. The counter
is clad in a veneer consisting of steel, copper, brass and silver and
a selection of projector, camera and computer parts. The original counter
was 20’ long, 6’6” deep and of variable heights. The
counter has since been cut and reassembled in a new configuration to
accommodate the addition of another screening room.
