Our local movie theater in Carmel, NY is more than just a place to watch films; it's a vital part of our community. Unlike the big chains, this theater is personal and intimate, a place where our neighbors work and gather. The group of friendly and enthusiastic kids staffing the theater makes every visit enjoyable, and their passion doesn't go unnoticed. For regulars like me, it's a treasured spot where affordability meets warmth and friendliness.

News has surfaced that our beloved theater might close, not because it's failing financially, but due to issues with lease renewal. The landlord didn't want to renew the lease, a decision that could rob Carmel of one of its few unique entertainment venues. In our small town, entertainment options are limited, and the theater gives us a much-needed place to relax and enjoy quality time with family and friends.

Considering the taxes we pay, it's disheartening to think our community could lose another valuable resource. If the loss of our theater feels unacceptable to you too, let's stand together and take action. Let’s show the landlord and local authorities how important this theater is to our community by signing this petition. Together, we can make a difference and keep our local theater open. Please join us in this crucial effort to save a piece of Carmel's soul.
