Little Theatre

About The Little Theatre

Established in the late 1920s, The Little Theatre emerged from the Little Cinema Movement, providing an alternative to mainstream cinema. Officially opening its doors on October 17, 1929, it has faced numerous challenges, including the stock market crash and the advent of sound films. In 1998, it became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit film society, dedicated to showcasing independent and foreign films while supporting local artists.

Impact on the Community

The Little Theatre serves as a vital cultural hub in the Greater Rochester area, presenting American independent and foreign films, visual arts, and music. Its innovative programming and community support have allowed it to thrive, even during difficult times like the pandemic.
