We are abruptly coming to a conclusion of this ten-part series which we began earlier in the fall (it has been preempted some 12-14 times, rough estimate).
Today, we focus on the historic North Theatre in downtown Danville, Va.
The cinema was reopened a few years ago after being closed for many, many years.
While the North does show movies as special screenings, including a Fellini retrospective in 2006 which shocks me to this day, they also host concerts and plays.
On Dec. 17, the North will be the venue for The Little Theatre of Danville's stage production of "It's a Wonderful Life." The play, which is aimed at children (though adults can attend) starts at 7:30 p.m.
Perhaps, the ghost of Jimmy Stewart will be in attendance to answer questions about what it was like to work with Frank Capra, and what the after-life is really like.
SIDEBAR: Our sister site "The Daily Vampire," which seems to be far more popular (and this is the one with a photo of Sarah Silverman!) has a blog entry about The Grandin Theatre in Roanoke, Va.
