Save the Marianne!!
Hello! we are trying to reopen the old Marianne theater in beautiful Bellevue Kentucky. Our goal is to make the Marianne a community event center and a one of a kind interactive movie theater!! The Marianne is a piece of art history that should be saved and enjoyed a rather to sit and rot away.
Stephen J Hodke and myself (Rob Collins) have spent the past several years working in the independent film industry and have made multiple connections to bring you films that you cannot see anywhere else in the world!! While working in the film world we have been lucky enough to make some friends that would love to come and perform stand up comedy shows, plays and live musical performances. We also will have times for people of the community to hold their own events like weddings and private parties!!
The Marianne theater has been closed since the late 90’s.. that’s over 20 years just wasting away!! The Marianne was made in 1942 during World War Two and was constructed to be the jewel of Bellevue and with your help we can make in shine and glimmer once again!
