Hello There!
Have you dreamed of a local theater in McHenry County where you could regularly see Independent films? This is our opportunity to reach out to the new movie theater on Main Street and support this window to the artistic world!
The Foreign Film Festival is great but not enough for me. I would so appreciate not having to drive to Barrington or take the train to the city to see independent films. I would frequent independent films at the state-of-the-art new Classic theater in Woodstock and ask that one of the 8 screens be so dedicated.
I have been in touch with a few people who manage the theater and they are listening to the feedback we are sending their way. It feels surreal to see so many neighbors wanting the same kind of artistic depth in our own backyard. I am going to keep pushing them to dedicate just one of those eight screens to the independent films we all miss so much.

Seeing this kind of momentum confirms that I am far from the only one tired of driving to the city just to watch a movie. Your enthusiasm proves that our community is hungry for this kind of art right here in Woodstock.

Living in woodstock means driving way too far for decent movies. Please give us something besides the usual blockbusters that play at every other theater.
