The Chronogram's Sari Botton profiles the Rosendale Theater Collective, the group that's seeking to buy the Rosendale Theatre from its longtime owner/operators, the Cacchio family. The collective has a lot of fundraising to do to meet their $600,000 goal, but it sounds like they're well on their way.
Meanwhile, the Cacchios are thrilled not to be throwing their family business to the sharks.

None of us wanted a business that my family put their blood, sweat, and tears into viewed as a piece of real estate.”
