A community group that has secured the right to purchase the Rosendale Theatre is holding an information and organizational meeting Thursday. The Rosendale Theatre Collective has until mid-April to raise a total of $600,000. The community is invited to hear an update on the purchase and participate in talks about fundraisers and planning for the theater.
Originally a firehouse, The Cacchio family bought and renovated what was then a defunct casino and turned it into the theatre that stands today. Showing films and live performances since 1949. Being one of the last single screen family run theaters in the country, I think this would be a good reason to get out Thursday night. The meeting is at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Rosendale Recreation Center on Route 32.
Once again; thank you to the Cacchio family for the decades of good Theatre for the community.

The Rosendale Theatre Collective has been chosen as a final contestant for a $50,000 Pepsi Refresh grant. Funding will support the group's acquisition of the Rosendale Movie Theatre and serve to sustain Rosendale's Main Street businesses. The grant is determined by daily votes - whoever gets the most votes, wins the grant! So, we are rallying our community to go to the Pepsi site to vote every day of the month of April. To vote please go to http://www.refresheverything.com/rosendaletheatrecollective.
