So many wonderful memories from this theater. Please preserve this building. This generation is too quick to build up new developments and tear down landmarks. Save the Theater.

This theater has always been a great place to see movies locally. At some point we need to find a balance between preserving what makes our downtowns special and simply making money.

As a Chatham native, I have many fond memories of movie going to this lovely theatre. It would be so very sad if it were torn down. It is historical and lovely and should be used for arts events. Condominiums on this street look horrific and be totally out of character with that street and neighborhood.

Please take a look at the Englert Theatre in Iowa City - saved by a community effort and now central part of community life. Save the Madison theatre!

I grew up in Madison and went to this theater often. The theater may be gone but please save the building. It is Madison! And can be used for so many worthwhile community events. No more condos...please preserve the history of this wonderful town!

We have lived in Madison for five years and the movie theater was definitely a factor in us moving to town with our three children. It has been a great local social activity for the kids. We have used it as a great local family outing, too. Hopefully, Borough Council can come up with a creative alternative. Maybe it would be possible to create a movie space at the library?

This is so many kids childhood, we grew up asking our parents if we could get dropped but off at the movies and it was considered the coolest thing in the world once we were allowed to go by ourselves. Our parents trusted we would be okay because they know how special that movie theater was to us. I'm older now but when I heard it was closing I felt like a piece of my childhood memories was just going down the drain. So many fun play dates, that turned into actual dates happened there and this might sound "dramatic" because it's "just a movie theater" but Madison is such a family oriented, friendly close nit town and to see something that really made all those families and friends gather up for a fun night or day just go away, is heartbreaking.

I would love to keep the movie theater...it's part of the reason we moved to Madison to raise our children! I also look forward to movie club in my own town. We need to save and rebuild a safe theater for our future!
