More theatres are going digital which means the job of projection will fall into the hands of the manager and the position of projectionist will be eliminated. This makes me sad. Even though everything is programmed on a timer, you still need to be there to make sure the bulb turns on or make adjustments to the picture. I am imagining a theatre with an automatt, one scanner and automatic doors like in BART. No ushers will be needed. Rhoombas will be released when the show ends. This is the theatre of the future.
