A look behind the scenes
1948
The theater first opened its doors
Act I
A Theater Reborn
What began as a community cinema sat dormant after COVID - until we saw something no one else did. Behind the marquee, 11,000 square feet of climate-controlled space was waiting for a second act.
Today, every screening room has been reimagined as a habitat. Temperature, humidity, and light cycles are precisely managed. The result is a farm unlike any other.
"We didn't just repurpose a building - we gave it a living, breathing encore."
