The Tinker Street Cinema is a single screen theater housed in a former church. As far as I can tell, this theater opened in the late-1960’s. Mostly foreign and independent films are shown here.

I think we have a lot more churches that used to be theaters than the converse.
Great observation.
My parents, Bill (designer) and Hilde (architect/civil engineer) Militello, purchased the Methodist Church in 1967 and created the Tinker Street Cinema. My father, a dedicated theater organ enthusiast, installed an Austin three-manual, fifteen rank theater organ complete with toy counter, chimes, drums, and marimba. The organ was purchased from the Paramount Theater in New Jersey. An article in The Woodstock Week (vol 3, no. 16, April 20, 1967) gives further details about the origin of the Tinker Street Cinema. I’ll ask the Woodstock Historical Society if the article can be made available online.
