Rosendale Theatre wants to know what classic LPs you’ve got in your closet. The theatre is mounting an exhibition of 50 Years of Classic LP Covers in its lobby to coincide with the “Music Invasion Film Festival” over the weekend of July 4th. The curators are seeking the widest selection from Hudson Valley music fans in all categories: pop, jazz, blues, R & B, folk, rock n roll, rock, classical, novelty. The possibilities are endless—and very, very cool.
We will always remember Richard “F Stop” Minisalli as our first president and founding board member, who worked tirelessly in the beginning years towards the creation of the Rosendale Theatre Collective. F Stop played a significant role in acquiring the theater, gaining non-profit status, raising money and responsible for many equipment upgrades. F Stop Fitzgerald was instrumental in closing the deal on the Rosendale Theatre Collective and the community has him to thank for our successes today. We could have never done it without him. Thank you F!

Wish #11 has been granted! Congratulations to the Rosendale Theatre, a historic theatre built in the 1920’s. The community of Rosendale, NY has kept the theatre a neighborhood staple, in order to enable access for all they wished for funding towards a wheelchair ramp. Wish granted!
Six weeks ago I never heard of the guy. I had an appointment to work on my web page, in order to update, and as they say, “optimize” it to build traffic and interest would-be buyers of my books. I knew the name of the company because I had been to a meeting in its office on Main Street in Rosendale, but the meeting was about fund-raising for the impressive Rosendale Theatre Collective.
