Marion Roth, the director of the Ridgefield Chamber of Commerce, will step down from that post to become executive director of the Prospector Theater.
Roth said she’ll take over the new job in mid-January.
The Prospector – once known as the Ridgefield Playhouse – was the town’s only movie theater for decades. When it’s life as a theater ended, it became a bank.
Under the leadership of Valerie Jensen, the theater was saved from demolition. It will re-open in 2014 with three screens.
