Programming style

In our seasonal catalog the slate at The Senator Theatre leans toward drama, history, sci-fi, comedy. 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.
