Is the mortenson to the right of the bushne

Robert Kwasniewski | Sep 27, 2018
Kiley F | Sep 27, 2018

Mortenson is the original theater. They are both at the same address, you wouldn't know it as anything but one building. The Belding houses the smaller theater, cafe etc. If you are standing on Capital Ave facing the Bushnell the box office will be on your right, mortenson on your left 😉
