About:
Story The Cape Cinema is a movie theatre located in Dennis, Massachusetts, United States on Cape Cod specializing in independent American and international film, simulcasts of the Metropolitan Opera and National Theatre, and live music performances.The Cape Cinema was founded in 1930 by Edna B. Tweedy and Raymond Moore, three years after Moore founded the Cape Playhouse. The building's exterior was designed by Alfred Easton Poor and modelled after the South Congregational Church in Centerville, Massachusetts. The auditorium is designed in the style of Art Deco and includes 317 individual arm chairs of black lacquer and tangerine suede produced by the Frankl Galleries in New York. Moore and Tweedy commissioned American painter and illustrator Rockwell Kent to design a 6,400 square foot mural for the auditorium's ceiling, featuring a representation of the heavens and constellations, and it was installed by set designer Jo Mielziner.Since 1986, the Cape Cinema has operated as an independent art house, and in 2008 it launched a live music series which has spotlighted artists such as Bon Iver, Dirty Projectors, Glen Hansard, Saint Vincent, The Paper Kites, Tift Merritt, and Martha Wainwright.In 1939, the Cape Cinema was one of three cinemas to preview the Wizard of Oz before its Hollywood premier. The Cape Cinema is maintained by the Raymond Moore Foundation, and is part of the Cape Cod Center for the Arts that includes the Cape Playhouse and the Cape Cod Museum of Art.
