SCREENINGS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE

This past weekend, the historic The Lafayette Theatre celebrated an incredible milestone—102 years of entertaining audiences and bringing the magic of the movies to the community.
Since opening its doors in 1924, the Lafayette Theatre has been a beloved gathering place where generations have shared laughter, music, and unforgettable cinematic moments. The 102-year celebration honored that legacy with a weekend filled with nostalgia, music, and classic films that have delighted audiences for decades.
At the heart of the festivities were multiple performances on the magnificent Ben Hall Mighty Wurlitzer organ, played by talented New York Theatre Organ Society organists who filled the auditorium with the rich, vibrant sounds that once accompanied the golden age of cinema. The celebration also featured screenings of two fan-favorite classics: the timeless musical Singin' in the Rain and the beloved Technicolor adventure The Wizard of Oz. Seeing Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion on the big screen once again was a magical moment for longtime patrons and first-time visitors alike.
From the glowing marquee outside to the shared excitement inside the auditorium, the weekend was a beautiful reminder of why the Lafayette Theatre continues to hold a special place in the hearts of movie lovers. Guests enjoyed not only the films and music, but also the warm hospitality of the theatre’s owner, dedicated staff, and passionate organists who work tirelessly to preserve the theatre’s unique character and history.
Photographs from the celebration capture the spirit of the weekend—from smiling staff and performers, to the theatre’s iconic marquee, to the glow of Dorothy’s journey unfolding on the big screen before an appreciative audience.
For 102 years and counting, the Lafayette Theatre has been more than just a movie theater—it has been a living piece of cinematic history and a cherished cultural landmark. Here’s to many more years of music, movies, and memories under its historic roof.

The Lafayette was designed by renowned architect Eugene DeRosa. The 1,000 seat venue originally sported her own Muller Organ to accompany silent films and live performances. In the late 1980s the NYTOS installed the Ben Hall Memorial Mighty Wurlitzer Organ - which still plays today!
The Lafayette features both first run films and classics.
Amazing Q&A experiences, film festivals, live performances, Holiday Extravaganzas, private events, and much more can all be found right here, in Suffern, NY!
