The biggest challenge for the theater in Goldman's opinion is trying to reassure the public that there is a viable shopping and entertainment district north of Calhoun. Goldman said the theater, complete with overstuffed chairs and tables for dining during the movie, is frequented by neighborhood groups, Air Force groups, families, couples and friends. Women are admitted free to both shows on Mondays, and Tuesdays are date night - buy one get one free. Goldman said the upstairs Stars bar and restaurant within the theater has its perks. There is a full beer, wine and liquor bar, plus entrees and desserts.
Hours correspond with film times.
The bar also acts as venue for special events and parties. Goldman said he rarely gets the chance to watch a film, but he doesn't mind. I like pleasing people and making sure they're happy - that's why I am in the service industry. THE ROXY The Roxy Theatre, at 245 East Bay St., is a first-run independent theater. Bookings, according to Colleen Reilly, director of marketing and development, are based on grosses, so the theater can bring better films to the screen faster and keep them longer.
