The Somerville Theatre, with its iconic marquee, is one of the crown jewels of Greater #Boston. It’s one of few independent theaters in the world that screens films on 70mm.
Their future had been in jeopardy, but they just purchased their building for $12 million to ensure they don’t have to close.
Please support this theater! Catch a movie there, contribute to their GoFundMe, or, better yet, become a member! Membership has perks, like for instance a members-only double feature of PSYCHO and DRACULA this weekend, both on 35mm!
LONG LIVE THE SOMERVILLE
