"We'd just opened and needed as much business as possible to survive, so we decided to stay open for Christmas," Wheeler says. But the tradition found its own strength; the theater has welcomed solitary patrons and groups alike, becoming a haven for those seeking festive distractions and cinematic experiences on a day when many are otherwise confined to holiday obligations with family."
"I could only pity myself for a minute. Then, a family hiked up behind me shouting holiday greetings, their big, shaggy dog begging for pets. I was anything but alone, I realized; if anything, my solo status offered new opportunities to connect and explore."
