The DFT is a perfect end to an evening. This architectural jewel, fully restored to its 1927 grandeur, is a visual feast. The elegant Crystal Gallery Cafe, a ballroom on the second floor, is a low-key place to unwind with a glass of wine before a show... or coffee and a delectable dessert. The shows range from classic to independent, including fabulous documentaries. Keep your eye on the schedule, because you'll be sure to find a film that's right up your alley. Enjoy!

Since the reconstruction a couple years ago, this theatre has gone from nice to gorgeous! The old wooden chairs have been replaced with very comfortable seating, and the original architecture is simply splendid. I've seen films and musical performances there, and have been most pleased.

The assortment of films is excellent, and the 'new' auditorium is wonderful.
