    This is a great theater. The movie selection is perfect and the staff are super nice. It is obvious that this is a theater run by and for movie lovers. And I know this has nothing to do with the theater in particular but the parking lot was close by and reasonable.

    Great community run/owned theatre. The staff is super friendly and the ticket prices are great. It's very small and I think they only have 2 screens but I love the idea of supporting the small guys. Concession stand isn't the biggest and my popcorn was a little stale so maybe ask before ordering. I'm sure they wouldn't mind popping a fresh batch. Don't forget to donate a few bucks to keep this gem open.

    Really cute theatre, came in to see the new Frida. The seats were really comfortable, staff was super nice and they serve alcohol!! I adored the bathroom too, the wallpaper was full of images of Frida. Overall, great experience.
