Jay Johnson
Today we received the tragic news that Jay Johnson passed away on January 5.
Jay was our previous Social Media Coordinator, working diligently to take photos at our events, update the website, manage email communications, and send out announcements to the press. He touched many people with his warm and generous spirit.
Rest in Peace, Jay.

Schedule Change
Please note the following schedule change:
Due to circumstances beyond our control, next week’s double feature, The Goodbye Girl & Claudine, will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 20—not Tuesday, Feb. 19 as originally scheduled. Future film screenings will still be held on Tuesdays as usual.
