Theater of Dreams Grant.
From a dream to a grant.

As movie lovers and loyalists of independent theaters, we instituted a $100,000 grant to lend a helping hand to one deserving local movie theater, and in turn, the community it serves. We are proud to present the first-ever Theater of Dreams grant recipient: The Little Art Theatre, hailing from the idyllic, small town of Yellow Springs, Ohio.

"The Gift"

Little Art Theater thought we came to town to film a grant documentary. Little did they know, we were there for something much bigger.

"The Reveal"

The community of Yellow Springs comes together to celebrate a bright new beginning for The Little Art Theater.

Worthy of the spotlight.

Our search for a Theater of Dreams Grant recipient led us to local theaters that moved and inspired us. All across the US, we found people and communities coming together to keep these local neighborhood cinemas alive.

A trip down memory (movie) lane.

We might be big on streaming, but first and forever, we’re fans of going to the movies. We sat down with some Plexians past and present to reflect on the impact theaters have had on our lives throughout the years.
