Today just might be the last post for the Local Store Front Project and I just want to take the time to say Thank you. Thank you to those who have read each and every post and followed my project! Thank you to the business owners who took the time out of their day to allow me to photograph them. Thank you to all the Concord Community customers out there. I hope these posts inspired you to go and check out the online stores, menu's, and social media pages of these wonderful and one of a kind small businesses. If I don't get anymore businesses just know that I am rooting for all of you to make it through this. I am eager, like so many, to walk back in your stores, to shop, to dine, to sing (whether you like it or not) and enjoy the company, noise, pride and compassion our community shares together.
Until then, here's today's, potentially last feature. Red River Theatre!
According to their website,
"Founding volunteers named the organization after “Red River,” a classic, 1948 Western starring John Wayne, in which the lead characters undertake an epic, nearly impossible, but ultimately successful, journey. The name seemed suitable to the challenge the community faced in creating an arthouse cinema from scratch in the state capital."
"The theater’s mission is “to present film and the discussion of film as a way to entertain, broaden horizons and deepen appreciation of life for audiences of all ages.” To that end, Red River offers a diverse program of newly-released films, classic films, film discussions, family events, and cult favorites. Conversation and civic engagement are at the heart of what makes Red River so popular in the community and so important to the New Hampshire cultural scene."
You can still enjoy film, by streaming right from home, and discussion by joining the Red River Theatre's social media pages! Take advantage of these trying times and enjoy being able to create your own theatre at home. Make popcorn, purchase your movie "ticket" and sit back and enjoy the show!
Julie (Marketing Manager) and Angie (Executive Director) have this to say to their fans and community!
"We miss having everyone here at the theater, but thanks to you, our friends and fans, the Red River Theatres community spirit is thriving from afar! Check out our Virtual Cinema, full of films you can stream at home, at redrivertheatres.org, and join us on social media (@red_river_theatres) for film news, activities and contests. To support the theater, you can also become a member or make a donation at our website. Thanks so much for being part of Red River, and we're looking forward to welcoming you back soon! #yourindiecinema #redrivertheatres #redriverNH"
Just Keeping Swimming All! We will get through this!
