It's been months since the Orpheum Theatre here in Madison was regularly screening films but now I have a glimmer of hope that the projector will be fired up again.
In the new Isthmus Linda Falkenstein writes that the Orpheum Lobby Restaurant has closed until the spring for remodeling. But the interesting part is a quote from the theatre's event co-ordinator Jeff Ketterhagen.
Ketterhagen says the vision is for more of a cine-dine-style experience. That is, "people come in, have dinner, and then see a movie, whether it be old or new," something the Orpheum has done from time to time in the past, Ketterhagen notes.
Does this mean that cinema is returning to the Orpheum or does eating there and then walking to campus or driving to another theatre for a flick count as "more of a cine-dine-style experience"?
