The Beacon Cinema is living up to its promise to be a team player in Pittsfield’s revitalization. From February 17 - 28, every night from 8:30 - 11 p.m., the Beacon will be showing the Winter Olympics in one of its theaters with stadium seating. Admission? Free. Owner Richard Stanley says that he was “looking for a way to showcase the Beacon’s all digital projection system and give the audience an example of its unique capabilities.” He added: “Digital projection allows us to not just be in the movie business but truly in the entertainment business. What better way to share that with an audience than with a fun and free event like the Winter Olympics? Can you imagine downhill ski racing or snowboarding on a 40 foot screen? You just can’t get that experience at home.”
Beacon Cinema
57 North Street, Pittsfield, MA; 413.358.4780
