Rosendale Theatre — Attraction in Town of Rosendale

In the past my rating was higher. This is a great small theater with super friendly staff and volunteers. The price is great and they have a good selection of snacks for sale. At least half of the movies I’ve seen here have not started on time and sometimes the temperature varies greatly throughout a show.

All in All I had a terrific time and will definitely check out the...

Walking in the door, I was immediately greeted by a friendly face and the movie ticket prices are very reasonable. The popcorn is freshly popped and very low priced! How excited I was to learn that this community nonprofit is almost completely operated and maintained by the generous efforts of its volunteers!

The theater recently updated its projector and sound system and the film that I saw was wonderful. I also visited this theater for a live performance. I would recommend it to anyone interested in experiencing a movie in a quaint and charming...
