FARGO — Looking for the perfect gift for that movie fan or history buff in your life? The Fargo Theatre invites you to take a seat. Literally.

The Fargo Theatre, which turns 100 in March, is selling off its seats through Dec. 30. For $200 you get a pair of seats with a maximum of six available per person.

Patrons can choose seats from the main floor or the balcony, 200 being offered from each space. The main floor seats are from the 1960s while the balcony seats date back to the 1930s. All of the seats were refurbished in the 1999 renovation.

Seats will be available to pick up on Jan. 4.

The move paves the way for new seats to be installed in January or February.

The new seats will maintain the Fargo’s Art Deco style, while introducing modern amenities, like thicker cushions, cupholders on the first floor and wider seats in the balcony. Nine new ADA accessible seats will also be added.

The big screen at the Fargo Theatre will be closed all of January and into February for renovations, though the second screen will keep showing movies. The work, which will include HVAC, plumbing, some fresh paint and new carpet, is made possible in part from a $500,000 grant from the North Dakota Department of Commerce.
