Rosendale Theatre

Rosendale Theatre is a three-story brick building that contains a 260-seat auditorium equipped with digital cinema technology and professional sound systems. The space hosts both film screenings and live performances throughout the year.

The building was constructed in 1905 as a casino and served as a leisure destination before being converted into a movie theater in 1949. The first film shown after this transformation was Blood on the Moon.

The theater serves as a gathering place where the community watches independent films, documentaries, and supports local artists performing on stage. It also hosts screenings for the Woodstock Film Festival, giving it a role in showcasing creative work across the region.

Programming happens year-round with both matinee and evening showtimes available for visitors to choose from. Tickets can be purchased online or directly at the box office when you arrive.

A local resident named Fannie Cacchio volunteered for decades managing ticket sales and film selections without payment. Her unpaid work was essential to keeping the theater rooted in community life.
