The DC Independent Film Festival has received a DCPL grant to collect an oral history of The Sheridan Theater (now the dollar store) at 6200 Georgia Avenue as part of our city-wide “Going to the Movies” project. The Sheridan was an important neighborhood meeting place before 1976 and remains an historically important building.
We are now ready to collect those memories!
So please, if you remember going to The Sheridan Theater or you know others who might, help us to fill in a missing part of DC cultural history.

AND – we will be meeting, greeting and filming at the Senior Health Fair at Emery Recreation Center, 5701 Georgia Avenue this Wednesday April 8th 2015, 10:30am-2:00pm.
