Programming style

In our seasonal catalog the slate at James Bridges Theater leans toward drama, crime, thriller, history. That is roughly the median profile for an independent cinema of this size — a programmer with one foot in the festival circuit and one in the back catalog, willing to sacrifice an evening of new-release box office for a print of something obscure on a Tuesday.
