Why? That's a story for later. Just trust us that it was VERY unexpected and TOTALLY beyond our control--our business has been doing GREAT!

The important thing is--we may not be going out WHEN we choose, but we're going to go out HOW we choose--ON OUR OWN TERMS, ON TOP AND IN STYLE!

So this weekend join us for ONE LAST BASH!

Say farewell to the Valley's ONLY independent movie theatre, run BY movie geeks, FOR movie geeks!

Lobby events are free
ROCKY & REPO are $7 each or both for $12. We expect both of these to be sold-out, standing-room- only performances!

As for the future, losing this place is a BIG blow--it's one of the last bastions of subculture in the Valley! BUT--we're looking for new places to take ROCKY, REPO AND OUR OTHER SHOWS. I PROMISE YOU THIS IS NOT THE END! WE'VE BEEN KNOCKED DOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN IN THE PAST AND WE ALWAYS RISE AGAIN FROM THE ASHES BIGGER AND BETTER THAN BEFORE. WE WILL RISE AGAIN!
