Triplex Cinema Celebrates One Year Anniversary

GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — The Triplex Cinema will celebrate its one year anniversary with a party on Saturday, July 27 at 5PM on the Triplex terrace. 
 
Free wine and hors d'oeuvres will be served, courtesy of Guido's Market, and Triplex board members and staff will be on hand to celebrate the many successes of the first year of the community-owned Triplex. The event will also kick off the Triplex seat naming campaign.
 
The seat naming campaign offers cinema patrons the opportunity to purchase a seat and have a specially made brass plaque affixed to the seat, in perpetuity, honoring the donor. As part of the campaign, the Triplex will be offering a raffle for a free seat naming opportunity, and all attendees of the anniversary celebration will be able to enter that raffle by filling out a form which will be provided. 
 
"We look forward to welcoming and thanking our community, which has so generously supported the Triplex over our first year of operations. During the past twelve months we have offered an amazing array of special programming and events, in addition to showing the best of newly released studio, independent and documentary films. The coming year promises to be even bigger as we look forward to the opening of our fourth screen," Triplex Board President Nicki Wilson said.
