The Remarkable Theater — the pop-up drive-in at the Imperial Avenue parking lot — was the surprise hit of summer (and fall).
Carloads of families and friends (no more than 5 per vehicle!) “thronged” the site (though never too close to each other). They enjoyed classic and relatively new films: comedies, action, romance.
There were special events too, including fundraisers (with videos), and a special showing of the Staples High School boys’ soccer team match at Norwalk (we won).
At the same time, the Remarkable Theater provided employment for people with disabilities. It was a win-win-win.
Today the big screen was dismantled. We hope it will be back next year.
And after COVID is vanquished (wear your mask!), every parking space can be filled.

To my knowledge – this incredible business was put together by Stacie Curran and her amazing friends. There is a lot more to that story too – but – these women and what they’ve accomplished.
Many hurdles from what I understand too! So – congratulations!! Well done! We went once and had a blast!!!
