Alternative programs include The Metropolitan Opera - Live in HD, National Theatre Live (Plays from London’s West End) and Exhibition on Screen.
The film society hosts a series of mini-film festivals that include the Black American Film Fest, Jewish Film Festival and the PRIDE Film Fest for the mid-Atlantic region.
Supporting a brick and mortar theater is an investment by and for the community. We employ full- and part-time local employees and a roster of over 15 volunteers each year. Our 2027 Strategic Plan encompasses three pillars. One is the Society's investment in local community partnerships collaborative special events while maintaining low rental fees for our business community.
