Friends of The Mariemont Theatre

What Friends Receive

All Friends of the Mariemont Theatre receive:

  • Visible recognition of stewardship, including a window decal, an official Friends of the Mariemont Theatre tote, and name acknowledgment aligned with membership level

  • Biannual printed Stewardship Reports, offering clear updates, financial transparency, and progress on theatre care

  • Direct communication and accountability, including a stewardship letter and annual in-person briefing

  • In-theatre benefits, such as complimentary movie tickets and concession discounts, which will be introduced once the cinema’s transition is complete and operations responsibly resume

The Mariemont Theatre has long been more than a movie house.

It is a gathering place, a landmark, and a shared cultural asset held dear by this community. As the theatre transitions into nonprofit stewardship under Cindependent, Friends of the Mariemont Theatre is the way neighbors, families, and civic leaders come together to care for its future - thoughtfully, responsibly, and for the long term.

What It Means to Be a Friend

Becoming a Friend of the Mariemont Theatre is a values-based commitment to preservation, stability, and shared responsibility.

Membership support helps fund:

  • Stabilization and readiness work

  • Thoughtful planning and long-term care

  • Transparency, accountability, and community trust

  • The foundation needed for future programming and reopening

Your membership matters before the first film is screened - because strong institutions are built with care long before the lights go down.

Reel care. Reel community.
