Did you know that the Lafayette Theater in Suffern is Rockland’s only single-screen movie palace? In operation since 1924, it marks its 100th anniversary this year!

With special guest Ari Benmosche and Craig Long, we turned our attention to history of the Lafayette Theater, what Suffern was like a century ago, and learned about the ongoing festivities celebrating this landmark anniversary. The festivities—“100 Years of Film,” showcasing classic movies from the 1910s to the 2010s—will run until March 3, 2024.

Learn more about the “100 Years of Film” celebration at https://lafayettetheatersuffern.com.
