The company, which last year moved its manufacturing operation to Stratford, has reached an agreement to sell its entertainment division to private equity firm Marwit Capital of Newport Beach, Calif., for $24.5 million, including the assumption of $16 million in debt.

The division operates 10 theatres and 69 screens in New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and Wyoming.

“To continue to grow both our display and entertainment divisions from an investment stand point is a challenge,” said Michael Mulcahy, Trans-Lux president and co-chief executive officer, in a statement. “This sale will allow us to further reduce long-term debt and focus our efforts on our core display business, where we believe we can present a clear investment case and get better results for our shareholders.”

Jesup & Lamont Securities Corp., which has an office in Stamford, acted as financial adviser for Trans-Lux.

Our time has come, my fellow sports and entertainment fans. Our time to become famous or infamous; to carry the coveted “celebrity” tag that for so long seemed so out of reach of our mere mortal grasps.

Who among us did not, at some point before we turned 10 years old and were asked what we wanted to be when we grew up, reply in earnest, “I want to be a famous (fill in the blank here: singer, actor, football or baseball player, etc.)?

Express this in achievements and keywords in your resume and career marketing materials. Be ready to respond swiftly to the needs of corporations by offering different aspects of your background. No longer are resume just dry ways to demonstrate your employment during high school, college, through internships, military or other experiences.
