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. Around 2010 it was renamed Upstate Films. It was closed in March 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The closure was made permanent in May 2021. It had reopened by July 2022.

I think we have a lot more churches that used to be theaters than the converse.
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.

Did you know[very doubtful!] that Jimi Hendrix played here on 8.10.1969. He rented a house up the road where he rehearsed and he played here that night!! I am listening to it now,,,,,,just got the recording. It sounds like Jimi Hendrix with a Jazz ensemble!
