Informative story on small town theaters by AP Film Writer Jake Coyle

I definitely remember this theater. My partner and I had a weekend house in Sullivan County and one of our guilty pleasures was to drive around without a planned destination. We ended up here, meeting the owner and talking about the theater and its history. It’s right on the NY/Pennsylvania border so I guess it’s no surprise about the PA label. I’m glad it’s still around and would love to have a Quonset hut running in San Diego.
Not too many single screen small town theaters left. Go while you can.
I remember camping on the banks of the delaware river in this town in 1987. I went by this theatre, meant to go in, but never did. If I ever get my camper out and go back up there, I’ll be sure to see it.

I saw only one movie in this theatre….while I honestly cannot remember that the movie was, I fell in love with the design and architecture of the inside. It was a beautiful arch, natural wood.
