Waiting for "Lassie"? The family's chocolate Lab has found a good seat.

Marty Snortum and Nevena Christi played a lead role in the future of the Pershing Theater in El Paso, Texas. Together, they’ve made the movie house an inviting and entertaining home. They continue to use the original theater balcony for movie nights, inviting over family and friends to watch everything from sci-fi to old classics.

The main floor of the theater has been turned into a combined living space and photography studio for Snortum's business.
