I haven’t seen the inside of the building after the renovation but they did a great job on the outside. My complaint is that they got a $600,000 grant from NYS for a project that created very few full-time jobs after the construction was done. That and the woman who owns the business is rich enough to have paid for it all out of pocket. It doesn’t really operate as a movie theater very often, mostly performance art.

During construction, which took a couple of years, they parked construction and demolition debris dumpsters in the street taking up all but one parking space which effectively destroyed the local Subway franchise at the corner. While Subway wasn’t the greatest dining option in town it was the only fast-food option besides Burger King across the street. That Subway was packed on nights that there was an event at the Glens Falls Civic Center across the street.

Theater is closed, building had no air conditioning so once the summer hit it couldn’t sustain itself. The owner found another location in South Glens Falls but that theater is now closed too.
