'Hollywood On The Sound' Mamaroneck Cinemas Red Carpet Premiere

MAMARONECK, NY — If you ever wanted to know what it was like to be a star of the silver screen with invites to glitzy film premieres, now is your chance.

LMC Media announced today that it will be partnering with the historic Mamaroneck Cinemas for a special October Gala.

LMC Media will be holding its Annual Gala on October 20, both online and in-person. They will be honoring local community leader Jefferson Meighan, Esq. during the event. The fitting theme of this year's fall celebration is "Hollywood on the Sound."

"The Sound Shore area is rich in filmmaking history," LMC Executive Director Matt Sullivan explained. "To showcase the storytelling expertise of LMC Media, we will create an original film that will chronicle the history of filmmaking in this community.”

Featured in the film will be notable figures who got their cinematic starts in Larchmont and Mamaroneck, before going on to become household names.

The timing of the Gala allowed for an opportune partnership with the newly re-opened, historic Mamaroneck Cinemas to screen the premiere of the film as part of the Gala celebration, LMC officials said.

The Mamaroneck Playhouse originally opened as a single-screen balcony theater in 1925. In 2014, the theater closed and is now owned by Harvey Elgart. After extensive renovations, the theater re-opened in June of this year.

“We are hosting the Gala at the theater at no charge to honor Jeff Meighan and all the hard and important work LMC Media does for the community," Elgart said.

The evening’s honoree, Jefferson Meighan, Esq., is a lifelong resident of Westchester County, who spent most of his life on the Sound Shore. He is being celebrated for his leadership in the Sound Shore community and for his philanthropic work, board service and volunteer roles that highlight a lifetime commitment to community. Meighan was a co-founder of the Washingtonville Housing Alliance and has held leadership roles in the local Rotary, Bar Association and Mamaroneck Public Library. He has been on the Board of LMC Media for 8 years and has served as president since 2015.

The LMC Media Gala raises funds to support its work with the residents and municipalities of Larchmont, Mamaroneck and Rye Neck. LMC Media receives most of its funding through cable franchise fees. These fees have been steadily declining due to residents’ use of alternative television and streaming services instead of traditional cable television (also known as cord-cutting). The Gala raises needed funds to replace these reduced fees. Past honorees include Congresswoman Nita Lowey and local philanthropist Sunny Goldberg.
