In March I told you that the theater has new owners who are going to keep running it as a theater, such great news! And they even had that Oscar Shorts event for two days in March where they invited the public to come in for free and watch all of the short films that were nominated for Oscars. During those events Les and Dafna took the time to introduce themselves and talk about their vision for the theater, often having to wait for the applause to settle down before they could speak again.
As Les and Dafna try to get a feel for the local movie appetite, be sure to show up when they’ve got something you like. Follow them on Facebook and their website to stay abreast of whatever they have going on.
And speaking of appetites, with the opening of the theater comes the opening of Theatre Creamery, the ice cream parlor next door. It will be good to have that as an option right in the downtown area again.
I drove by the theater the other day and was so happy to see new movie posters hung in the marquee. The grand opening kicked off yesterday, May 20th, with “Downton Abbey, a New Era”, “Everything Everywhere All at Once” (which seems to be getting more and more popular as people hear about how amazing it is), and “The Duke.” I hope you get a chance to see one of these movies this weekend in celebration of the work Dafna and Les have done and the investment they have made in our community.
Looking forward to seeing you all in and around the downtown!
