As the 1997 RAAC movie •series at The Theatre at Washington, Va., draws to a close, RAAC can look proudly on its past, be pleased with its present and can plan for its future. Last week was a sad time for Washington (big Washington) movie goers as the Key Theatre in Georgetown closed its doors after 18 years of showing films, many of which did not show anywhere else in the DC area.
RAAC has done a little research, and except for the college circuit, we may have the only theatre of its type in the area, still running, which shows such a variety of foreign, high quality American, documentary and special films.
In the past, for many years, we had a movie program every Saturday and Sunday run by volunteers. It ✓ even made a little money. As time went on and other fine programs of live music and theatre at The Theatre, the Ki Theatre, the Rappahannock Library and elsewhere, not to mention cable TV, VCRs and the Internet, busied up our lives, we closed briefly, only to start again three years ago with monthly films, which again are drawing good audiences and again holding audiences with unusual films of the same high quality.
Rappahannock County is fortunate in its wealth of talented and devoted people who are willing and able to lend their skills in a variety of ways to the enrichment of others. RAAC is no exception. There seems always someone to step in to enliven the scene.
