1. little theatre

   Little Theatre, also known as "art theatre" or "small theatre," typically refers to noncommercial theatrical venues or companies that produce plays characterized by their experimental and avant-garde nature, often aimed at fostering creativity and innovation in theatre. They often have smaller budgets, smaller venues, and may focus on less mainstream performances, whether it be local work, lesser-known plays, or new experimental pieces. The term originated in the early 20th century to distinguish these venues from more commercial, mainstream Broadway theatre. The “little” refers to the size and scale of productions and should not be understood as a measure of quality or impact.

1. Little Theatre

   The Little Theatre in Rochester, New York, commonly known as "The Little" is a movie theatre located on historic East Avenue in downtown Rochester, New York and a modest non-profit multiplex specializing in art film, including independent and foreign productions outside the United States. Founded in 1928, The Little is one of the oldest active movie theaters built specifically to show films in the US, serving as an alternative venue for cinema of higher artistic caliber than what was popular at the time. To remain in business, The Little has created a unique theater experience for its patrons strikingly different from that of standard commercial cinemas. The Little typically shows films that never make it to the large theater chains, either due to lack of publicity, popularity, exposure, or content that is too risky and/or inappropriate for larger audiences. Foreign films, independent films, some documentary films and art films are its common fare. The Little is unique in the area in treating anime films as artistic cinema, and titles by the likes of Hayao Miyazaki always find their way to The Little's screens. Critics at The Little provide a synopsis of any film they intend to show, both on their website and posted around their ticket booths on the street.
