Only a Few Days Remain to Offer Your Thoughts on the Future of the Bedford Playhouse
The site currently holds a Bowtie Cinemas location, but the company is not renewing its lease, according to movie expert John Farr.
Led by John Farr of the film buff website Best Movies by Farr, a local group is trying to turn the Bedford Playhouse movie theater into a not-for-profit “arts house,” and they have launched a survey asking for your opinion.
The site currently holds a Bowtie Cinemas location, but according to Farr, the company is not planning to renew its lease, which potentially creates an opening for an arts house.
“A small group, led by myself, believes a not-for-profit arts house, showing independent, foreign and classic films suited to the tastes of the Bedford Community, would establish the Playhouse as a vibrant cultural & social destination, enriching and revitalizing the village,” Farr writes on the webpage of the survey. “It would mirror the positive impact that Pleasantville’s Jacob Burns Film Center and Stamford’s Avon Theatre (which I was involved with re-launching) have had in their communities.”
