Elder Theatre

(The Sidney Theater in Sidney and the Holland Theater in Bellefontaine are now both local live performance venues.) The Elder,in business since 1942 is currently in need to convert to digital projection equipment as 35mm film is being phased out..hence an urgent community fundraiser took place in hopes that the locally-owned cinema can remain in business. The fundraiser started on May 20, 2013, gaining steam in the latter part of June and met the $28,000 goal before midnight on July 2, 2013 The website where additional pledges can be made is Save Elder Theatre dot com.
