What is Hudson really, without a place like this?! We were tipped off about it by a local shortly…read moreafter we moved here and are grateful to be members of this incredible community. What a miracle this place is, really. Fascinating, meaningful programming and events. I find myself thinking that there might not be another place quite like this anywhere on the planet; it truly deserves the word "unique". We love to browse the art gallery before or after a show and, embarrassingly, have yet to check out the bookstore. Sure, some of the seating isn't plush but there's couch type seating and if you're a movie lover who focuses on more than your hiney, there's plenty to love. Don't just go, join and support this treasure of an institution. My only gripe, which may not be real, is that someone told me there was a swing dance event here and I didn't hear about it.

This review is limited to the used book store that TSL operates - in short, it's among the very…read morebest used book stores I have a visited in quite some time, and that's really saying something. They have an extensive number and wide range of books, including art books, most in very good or better condition. The organization is largely by subject (and even then, assignment to a particular subject area seems somewhat whimsical), but within categories, they are not well sorted - so it does take some time to browse. Pricing is a very modest flat fee, given the condition and rarity of some titles (currently $4 per hardcover, $3 per paperback). Thus it's possible to find many titles, including first editions, well under typical pricing found elsewhere. The staff people are really nice. When bagging up my purchase, one of the larger tomes ripped the paper bag slightly, so the staff person got some gaffer's tape to repair the bad and prevent it from continuing to rip apart. Thank you, TSL!

Cute small town theater. I came on Thanksgiving to see CoCo. The theater wasn't very clean... dirty…read morefloors... distinct scent of old movie theater... etc. But overall it was a nice time. The previews were freakishly loud. I felt like I had to shout to be heard by the person next to me and I was glad the movie was not at that volume. The tickets were reasonably priced but the popcorn was by no means fresh. It felt more like a budget movie theater to me, despite that it was playing all new movies and it wasn't.

Amazing! This is the perfect small business theater that makes going out as a family fun. My son…read moreloved the place. They have great snacks and you can even eat a sub sandwich in the movie!!! Big shared tables to pass snacks as a family. The staff is super friendly and really want to help. The pricing is very fair, $9 for an evening ticket, and my family were the only ones there! So we made sure to buy plenty of snacks and food to try and make it worth their time. They also have a really cute arcade next to the theater, making waiting for the movie to start a fine experience. TL;DR: Great theater.

ORIGIN: A seasonal resident of the community who worked in…read morethe coastal hospitality industry, Seth Moseley, built what later became known as the Colonial Theatre in 1923. According to local lore, he built it as an entertainment center to please his wife while they resided in rural Litchfield County. On the second floor was a ballroom, ground floor a movie theatre, and basement had a bowling alley. After decades of use the theater closed in 1997. Since then different groups of community members have stepped up to revive and restore the theater. LOCATION: The theater is located on a street that intersects with the town's main thoroughfare. This section of town is recognized by the National Register of Historic Places as a historic zone for its large collection early twentieth century buildings. These buildings arose after the crossing of two regional railways sparked commercial development. CONCEPT: Aligned with how the venue was initially conceived, the Colonial Theatre is a community hub for entertainment and celebrations. ATMOSPHERE: Many early 20th century design details have been preserved or restored, including a mural depicting the surrounding community in the lobby. EXPERIENCE: A variety of events sponsored or hosted by regional businesses take place at the theater. As one example, Boondocks Film Society hosted an event in which 1930s style cocktails were served alongside a streaming of the 1934 class -- The Thin Man. Live jazz by the Orson Handel trio accompanied the pre-screening competition cocktails. The site, with its art deco details, was especially fitting for this event. TIPS: There is an excellent restaurant across the street from theater -- Industry Kitchen & Bar. I've enjoyed the burgers, sandwiches, and tacos (see my Yelp review.), but they also offer fancier dinner entrees. Check the theater's website and Instagram for upcoming events.

My husband and I have been here several times - we kept expectations low on food, but it was…read moresurprisingly fine - the chicken was really nicely flavored and juicy - the potato was nicely done and with lots of butter and sour cream - damn good - the green beans were fresh, but limp - but edible. Dessert was some kind of toffee cheesecake with fresh whipped cream - again, not gourmet, but good! It's like what you could make at home, but you don't have to cook or clean up, and you get to watch a movie. All this for $50 for 2 - not bad. We went on Wed for pizza and a movie - again, surprise - the pizza was pretty good - the ceasar salad was tasty as well - crisp lettuce - decent dressing - could have used anchovies, but I'm a traditional ceasar salad kind of girl. Oh, and it was $10 for the movie and a pizza for each of us. Only downside - it's cold as heck in the theatre - not sure what the deal with that is - I was cold the first time, the next time I was prepared and enjoyed myself immensely. Will we go back? You bet!!

We kindly asked if they could be turned off once the movie was well underway because we, again, were the only ones in the theater, and they were distracting. We were told that it would take 20 minutes to turn them off, so the answer was a no, which was sort of understandable. However, the tipping point for me personally was that there was so much refuse, including old candy, popcorn, and other concessions, all over the carpet in every direction- almost asking for a rodent infestation. The tape used to hold parts of the stairs to the upper seating area together was half off. The seats were so filthy that brown stains of oil and soil were visible on all of them throughout Theater 3. I was honestly afraid of rodents throughout the whole movie since there was so much food covering the floor. Please use a vacuum at least once a day; it's a health hazard for the community otherwise. I say this as a concerned parent and caring community member. The place is absolutely filthy.
