I hope you get the newsletter from the West Newton Cinema – if not this is as good a time as any to sign up. It’s informative and lists the movies streaming – including ones requested. It’s a truly local, family owned business. To check them out go here.

You may remember that David Bramante’s daughter, Bridget Bali, started a  GoFundMe page on March 16 to help the theatre survive this epidemic that raised more than $10,000 in two days.

An article in the Globe on April 7, says that “Three weeks later, donations had jumped to nearly $34,000 –– nearly $9,000 more than the original goal. Donations have ranged from $5 to $10,000, a testament to how much the theater means to its community.”
