Queenkv’s Brainpickings

Mark sent me this article about Act 1 & 2 closing down. It’s on Center St…close to Top Dog, a yummy Vietnamese restuarant, yummy burritos, Starbucks and more. It’s closing it’s doors this weekend.

I’m bummed. During my undergraduate years and my time at Haas, I checked out films by myself at this theater. I saw plenty of arty and foreign flicks that other people didn’t want to see. I felt comfortable curling up by myself in one of their comfy theater seats. I didn’t have to worry about cat-calls and rudeness from teenagers who were bored by the next blockbuster hit. When I was upset with people, boyfriends, co-workers, myself, the world - this theater was a sanctuary for me - a place to escape from my problems and get lost in French drama, British slapstick or something otherwordly.
