What a spring it has been. With the help of
many generous friends, we completed the renovation of Latchis 4, our
beautiful new movie and event space. In one stroke we revived a historic
part of the building, unearthed the past in the form of lovely decorative
moldings, and added another cultural venue to the Latchis collection of
theatres in our lively downtown.
Now Brattleboro Arts Initiative announces
more exciting news.
In a special joint venue with the
Brattleboro Music Center, we are raising funds to be able to broadcast the
Metropolitan Opera Live in HD. Many of you asked for this programming,
and it's great to say that we're getting closer to the Latchis being on the Met
Opera circuit.
The other news is that the Ballroom Theatre
upstairs will soon be outfitted to show 3D movies. There are a lot of
them these days, and as a community resource, we like to make sure we always
have something for everyone.
"Something for everyone" is
really our mantra. Brattleboro Arts Initiative works hard to preserve the
Latchis as a place to welcome all manner of arts and artists, tens of thousands
of movie-goers and hotel guests annually, and daily shoppers, diners, and brew
pub aficionados. Whether investing in grand opera or 3D action, or our
next building project, we are always on the look-out for ways to serve
Brattleboro and contribute to the economic vitality of our downtown.
