Fairfield Community Theatre
Community Film Institute (2009–2011) (formerly known as the Fairfield Community Theatre Foundation (2001–2009) in Fairfield, Connecticut, was a nonprofit organization that operated a 1920 movie theater in downtown Fairfield, presenting mostly independent and second-run films. Ticket and snack prices were kept low, partly because the theater was staffed almost entirely by volunteer teenagers and run partly on donations. The foundation ran several film-related programs for seniors, mothers and youth. It also provided direct financial and promotional support to other local nonprofit organizations.
The theater is located on Fairfield's main street, 1424 Post Road.

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or theatre:
“The people needed to be rehoused, but I feel disgusted and depressed when I see how they have done it. It did not suit the planners to think how they might deal with the community, or the individuals that made up the community. All they could think was, “Sweep it away!” The bureaucrats put their heads together, and if anyone had told them, “A community is people,” they would not have known what they were on about.”
—May Hobbs (b. 1938)
“The theatre is a gross art, built in sweeps and over-emphasis. Compromise is its second name.”
—Enid Bagnold (1889–1981)
