Saw it the other day while on a bike trip through town. The area (7 miles north of New Paltz and not too far from Kingston), feels like a miniature Fort Collins, CO; truly a quirky mountain town. The theater is cute and small, can’t imagine more than 250 seats. I have plenty of pix if the function on here gets turned on.
This Sunday 2-22-09 The Rosendale Theatre will celebrate it’s 60th Anniversary!! The BIG DAY will begin at 2pm and for $15.00 you can eat drink and mingle with other theatre buffs.
This also includes a screening of a classic western!
Blood On Moon the acclaimed 1948 western staring Robert Mitchum will light up the big screen. It was the debut film way back in 1949!
If you are a fan of Movie Palaces then COME DOWN TO ROSENDALE THIS SUNDAY!
This truly is a GEM! I discovered it back in 1989 when I went to SUNY New Paltz.
Movies at that time were only $2.50! Inside when you walk in there are old style candy machines that STILL WORK! Just pop in your $$$ and PULL on the handle and out pops a Milky Way!
The screen is large the floors wood and seats leather.
Popcorn is good and very inexpensive.
Admission is now a very reasonable $6.00
The town is also charming and like a trip back in time to the 1950’s
The facade of this theater is in Sunday’s New York Times Metro Section regarding a possible new resort being built in Rosendale, a small town of 6,000.
