Institute for Entrepreneurship Entrepreneurial Education Partner
Stadium Theater • Owner, Steve Dougherty
They will be celebrating 75 YEARS next month🥳 DID YOU KNOW:
• Read below to find out his best selling movie…
• The first movie ever played at Jerseyville’s theater was one starring Ronald Reagan
• Old movies when played used to flicker becuase there was an actual flame lighting up the reel
• He also owns the Litchfield theater
Steve is not only a serial entrepreneur, with owning a bar, motel, restaurants, renovating buildings and houses in his past, but he has also been the Mayor of Litchfield for the past 12 years.
When you meet ambitious people like Steve, you may assume that they must come from a family that also had a level of success. That is not the case here. Steve has very humble beginnings that shaped him into the work horse that he is.
He treated the students to the theater’s iconic popcorn and soda this morning. We got a sneak peek at a sky box/suite he is working on and behind the scenes to view the computer systems where the movies are played from.
He advised the students to always go above and beyond with their work and to make sure to have a mentor that wants to see them succeed.
TITANIC - The best selling movie he has had yet.
