It looks like the Varsity Theatre will continue to show popular movies on Franklin Street. Since the landmark theater launched its ‘Go digital or go dark’ campaign in mid-December, it raised $50,000. The money will go towards a digital projector. Without it, the theater would have been forced to close. But as Jimmy Wylie reports, the community wasn’t about to let the theatre lose its light.
