Actually, dear friends, my name is Laura but I usually go by Lola. Anyways, I would love to sign this petition to help reopen something that is near and dear to my heart. I am planning to get into Academy for Film and Television and film has always been such a great part of my life. Clockwork Orange, Any Woody Allen film, you name I’ve seen it:) I actually stumbled upon this troubled theatre a few nights ago when I was curious to find something about the arts in Ridgewood. I remember when I saw some kid movies Cars ect and I believe I saw The Science of Sleep or The Devil Wears Prada but nonetheless having a theatre near home is just fantastic. I miss walking around myrtle as a kid and just looking at the board and thinking maybe by some slim chance of luck I will have my film on there some day. Its a place that if renovated would make so many kids, teens, adults happy you name. By God, the city losing buy not having such historic entertainment facility. Which brings me to the point I want to make. I go to I.S.93, its my senior year, I am quite great friends with a lot of people there, its funny to say, but they are almost like my family (even the ones I hate), I would love to get that petition 1,000+ signitures. If it would be alright could I possibly put up fliers in my school or just talk with the principal and I’m sure that he would let me. And would sign for himself. I’m quite the argumentative brat so if you guys ever needed someone for convincing believe me I’m your girl. I think theatre is important and Atlas is pricy. I mean, I go there usually for borders but all in all that theatre doesnt have atmosphere. Its modern and you can’t cherish much about it. And also, the terrible films that are just there for the next box office hit.Anyways, please let me know if I could put this link all over my school, and believe me when I see such an injustice esspecially when it comes to the arts, I’m willing to act. Its funny I usually don’t do fundraisers or charities because I’m like any other lazy teen and some people maybe be surprised I am writing this because I’m just a kid. But I really got infuriated when I read this might become a supermarket. My head still aches.
Its so hard for me to comprehend why some people don’t understand the reason why everyone wants this theatre to reopen. I have read so many comments on other internet forums that explained the funny memories of people and their first dates, the movies they saw, the people they were with. The Ridgewood Theatre is a remarkable historic landmark that shouldn’t be torn and renovated into a crummy little supermarket. Does anyone even want another food chain to open? Fellow citizens of ridgewood, we have a food store on every fucking corner, we don’t need more. I haven’t lived here a long time, I’m only 14, I moved here when I was 9. But this theatre,although a filthy and quick alternative to a better kept theatre, was the only one anyone wanted to go to! You know why? Despite the filth and the uncomfortable chairs, and the sticky floors,and the peeling cieling, you had the entertainment of being in a historic place where you always wondered who sat in the chair you are in, what person in the 1940’s sat there as well. It would be a sad moment in my life to see another memorable place shut down. Honestly, we have nothing in ridgewood, you have to explore in order to find something special, some entertainment. Where is a record store when you need one? Or some other entertainment facility? We need this theatre in order to keep some memories alive, relive the good parts of ridgewood. Its not that hard to understand that we need this theatre to let people know there doesn’t always have to be a movie night at home, that this town, as ghetto and boring as it is, can be special too.
