Upstate Films Woodstock location (Formerly Tinker Street Cinema) has closed.

The Upstate Films organization, which had leased the theatre for several years, continues to operate in their original Rhinebeck, NY location.

Local press reports suggest that the owner of the building is searching for a new leaseholder to continue operating as a movie theatre.

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!

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.

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

The video is not really so brief it has 20 parts to it. In the third part she mentions that the theater has 160 seats. The 20 sections would be good for someone to watch who knows nothing about the movie theater business or anyone who is thinking of going into the movie theater business.

I wonder what kind of organ the church had?
