The Crescent's Digital Upgrade is Almost Complete!

Update #4 · Mar 1, 2013 · comment

Earlier this week the 100% new digital sound system was installed and the new projector is being installed this very minute!  We'll post photos of the new equipment in the coming days.  The T-shirts and posters were delivered this week and they look great!  We absolutely love them and we want to thank the team over at Hummingbird Ideas doing such wonderful work.  Quartet opens tonight (on 35mm film) and we have your name on the list in the lobby, so we hope to see you soon.

Thank you again for your support, we wouldn't be here right now without you; You Kept the Crescent!

Update #2 · Sep 29, 2012 · 10 comments

Yesterday evening, just 11 days after launching this kickstarter, you guys contributed so much so fast that we reached our goal in what must have been record time! Max just sat down and recorded a short video to thank everyone for their efforts and to talk about the theater's future and the remaining 49 days of the fundraiser. Thanks so much, having patrons like you means the world to us, and we hope to see you here at the Crescent soon!
