This theater is now known as the Pocono Community Theater. It is still a movie theater and shows independent and art films.

After being closed for nearly six months, the Pocono Cinema is reopening this week as a non-profit community theater.

Going non-profit allowed the cinema to fundraise $30,000 for renovations and to utilize volunteers.

The community will be paid back by bringing people downtown to patronize shops and restaurants.

The previous operator ran out of money after only a year. The building’s owner and former operator ran it for a couple of months before closing it down last April.

The new owner had to give it up after only a year of ownership, and The Grand closed Nov. 9, 2007.

John Yetter, the man who ran the theater as Pocono Cinema for 10 years before selling the business in 2006, and the man who continues to own the building â€" reopened it on Nov. 21, 2007. He is actively trying to sell the property, but has pledged to keep the movie theater open until he does. He would like to see a non-profit organization take over the theater’s operations.
