SECOND SCREEN EXPANSION

Two Screens. Twice the Impact.

In December 2023, your incredible support pushed our Second Screen Kickstarter beyond expectations: together, we reached 130% of our goal.

Thank you for playing such an important role in helping bring our Second Screen dream to life — and for sharing with us not just the passion for cinema, but the belief that an indie arthouse theater in Akron is worth building upon.

Stay tuned for next steps!
