What a fun little movie theater ! I came for the Scream Queens performance - it wasn't the best but it was worth it. It happens once a month, for those who want to keep an eye out.

They always have a selection of indie films. I would say, go here if you’re more of a movie buff. The theatres are smaller and cozier than most. Which fits with their film selections. - Cara Lau
