Why now?
Studios will stop offering 35mm prints in 2013. Last year Arena Theater sold over 12,000 movie tickets. If we want to continue to provide this vital entertainment for our community we must have a commercial digital projection system.

What other programming will benefit?
The Met Opera Live in HD, National Theater Live, Film Club, and all other telecasts in the future will be dramatically improved by being projected in high resolution.

What are other theaters doing?
Three quarters of all screens in the US have already converted to digital. As a non-profit we are better positioned to succeed in the transition than many small for-profit theaters because we can raise funds through charitable contributions.

How will it look and how much will it cost?
The new digital projectors have very bright bulbs suited for large screen theater applications. High resolution means stunning detail, true color, and a spectacular big screen experience. This digital cinema system (different from a home entertainment system) will cost approximately $80,000. Please help!
