Thank You For Another Great Season

Thank you to The Colonial community of film and music lovers, members, donors, businesses and organizations that has supported Theatre through these uncertain times. We are happy to report that with your help The Colonial has not only survived, but continued to prosper. 2009 marked the Friends of The Colonial's 8th year of great films, national touring artists, quality family entertainment and school and community partnerships. This year The Colonial presented and hosted over 45 live and special events in addition to our feature independent and foreign films, as well as continuing to make a variety of significant facility improvements. The Colonial has been recognized as a model for small town arts accessibility and economic development.

We will be closed until May of 2010 busily planning next season. You can support this community effort through a membership (A great gift!) or tax-deductible donation. If you would like to help by volunteering at events and movies, or through a gift of special services please email us.

Peace and best wishes for the coming year,

The staff and board of The Colonial Theatre
