Earlier this month, the inevitable came to pass, as the Edwards Tustin Marketplace 6 closed after twenty-two years of service. Opened in the Summer of 1990, the Tustin 6 was once part of a highly popular entertainment hub, featuring Tower Records and Bookstar. However, the theatre’s glory days proved short lived, with the construction of the Edwards Marketplace Stadium 10 (across the street) in 1999 and the closure of both Tower and Bookstar.
Serving as a slightly discounted mid run house during its’ last decade, there was a glimmer of hope for the venue a year ago, when digital projection was added; but, the upgrade ultimately proved fruitless, as the theatre continued to experience dismal attendance. Closing down on 10/7/12, the second floor unit now sits empty.
