Savoy in Montpelier is fantastic.

They are small, but they definitely have a passion. Lots of special events (I miss Trash Tuesdays), and they often have movies that no other theater has.

I miss Trash Tuesdays SO MUCH. Exactly the kind of thing I want to see there.

I adore the Savoy, but they definitely go through periods where the programming is a little vanilla for what I want from an indie theater like that.

Wish they did more with underground, artsier fare. Still my favorite theater by far, though. Happy to be a member.

I was so bummed that I only learned about Trash Tuesdays relatively near the end of it, I only got to go to a handful.

I believe the only reason they stopped doing it was that the host moved away, so I bet if someone reached out to the Savoy willing to host, they might be up to do it again.

Yeah I forget their name, but they were great!

Just wish they'd play more things like Midsommar, Titane, Men, etc. In a bit of a lull for me right now.

Given that, any time their programming has been in a real groove I've reached out just to say I was excited about it, and they've always been super responsive and receptive to feedback.

It's a hard balance to strike with artier/cultier fare and the more subdued stuff. I get a lot of Montpelier demographics may not be thrilled about, say, Infinity Pool, but that was one I was shocked they didn't pick up, that I recall.
