Varsity Theater starts fundraising campaign to stay in business


As 2014 winds down, a Chapel Hill institution turns to Kickstarter in the hopes of making it through 2015. Today, the Varsity Theatre, which has operated on Franklin Street under different names for more than 85 years, unveiled a Kickstarter campaign starkly named Go Digital or Go Dark. Its goal is to raise enough money to convert the theater’s projectors and other equipment from 35mm film to digital, simply so they can keep showing movies as the new technology replaces the old.
