Cinerama to Reopen Anew on November 20
Our beloved 1960s-era theater will be back in business with newfangled technology aplenty
By Lauren Mang October 30, 2014
Last November, I wrote about the fancy commercial digital laser projector that Cinerama owner Paul Allen was set to have installed in his Belltown theater in early 2014, among several other renovations. The super-high-tech machine has a light output of 60,000 lumens, which translates into films with more clarity and color accuracy than ever before.
Cinerama has been closed for what seems like a gazillion years. But we’ve just gotten word that it’s finally ready to reopen. According to the Cinerama website, it will celebrate a grand reopening on Thursday, November 20 at 8 p.m. and will screen The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1.
Exciting stuff. Also, the theater has announced a new reserved seating feature, which enables moviegoers to choose their favorite seat in the house. Tickets for the grand fete and film are on sale here.
Cinerama, we’re glad you’re back.

Black Panther Park in Skyway Becomes First Black Panther Park in the World
The new community garden honors the Black Panther Party’s legacy of food justice and the Skyway neighbors who helped bring it to life.
On a sunny Sunday earlier this month, at the corner of 75th Avenue and Renton Avenue South, the community gathered for the opening of Skyway’s Black Panther Park. Inspired by the Black Panther’s Free Breakfast for School Children program that compelled the federal government to provide breakfast in schools, Black Panther Park is a community…
Rearview Mirror: A Family Coming Apart, SIFF, and My First Fashion Show
Things I did, saw, ate, learned, or read in the past week (or so).
The Family House A house can hold a lot, and Seattle Rep’s Appropriate knows that. Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ Tony-winning play, directed here by Timothy McCuen Piggee, drops the Lafayette siblings into their late father’s hoarded, falling-apart Arkansas plantation home for an estate sale, and lets the whole thing crack open from there. The sibling dynamics are…
