The Pickford web site does not mention a Limelight Theatre but it does list the Grand Avenue, alluded to in nmark’s comment.

The Bay Street seats 132 and 75; the Grand Avenue 61 and 19.

Top notch art house theatre. Staff introductions before each show and consistent attention to detail in quality of presentation, cleanliness and diverse programming make this one of the best theaters I’ve been too. The membership based non profit running this organization is planning a 3 screen expansion in an older building about a block away on Grand Ave. Fundraising is almost complete for that and construction should begin soon.

Great little theater! This is a non-profit art cinema. Much of the help is volunteer. It has a membership who gets discount in the prices. Every time I go there, I see at least one other person I know in town. It’s more like a community center/living room than just a movie theater. Right next to it is the Spark Museum, which is another treasure in this town!
