Breckenridge Movie Theatre Opens for Summer

Breckenridge's independent movie theater, The Speakeasy, opens for its summer season Friday with the film "Thank You For Smoking."

Owners Mike Anderson and Guy Natanel handpick the films shown at their location in the CMC building in Breckenridge; they also make the popcorn, run the projector and personally say goodbye to attendants as they leave.

The theater invokes the artistic event a film can be with an art gallery showing local artists' work in the lounge, and informal (and sometimes formal) discussions erupting after the films.

They recently added a lounge in the gallery with coffee tables and chairs, allowing movie-goers to arrive early and stay a little later in the atmosphere.
