They share much of Rocky’s devotion to the cinematic format. They know all theatres face multiple challenges after years of pandemic, but they are determined the Rose will serve future generations of locals. As parents of young children, they also want a family-friendly movie house. They’re certainly not forgetting about so-called “art” movies, but they also want young customers to enjoy their popcorn at fun movies.
