Theatre N is Back!

Downtown Wilmington is the place for great entertainment - including quality films.

As the News Journal reports - Theatre N is back and under new management:

The 221-seat art house theater will be run by newcomer The Mill, which operates a 12,000-square-foot co-working space on the fourth floor of the Nemours Building. (Theatre N is housed in the Nemours Building at 11th and Tatnall streets in downtown Wilmington.)

The Mill leases the theater from Buccini/Pollin Group and manages it.

Downtown Wilmington-based commercial film firm The Kitchen now markets and advertises the theater.

And Beverly Zimmerman, who ran Theatre N from its 2002 opening until Mayor Williams took office at the beginning of 2013, will return as a curator, selecting which first-run films will be screened.

Downtown Wilmington's Comedy Scene

We know that Downtown Wilmington is the place to be for talented musicians, artists, and entrepreneurs - but did you know there's also a growing comedy scene here?

Our friends at Out and About Magazine just published a great story about our comedy scene that's growing out of Spaceboy Clothing at 711 North Market Street.

“It was a comedy club,” Vincent says. “It’s just there. Brick walls, the lighting is perfect, low ceilings. It’s like they accidentally built the Comedy Cellar down there.”

Downtown Wilmington is a great place for creativity in the fashion world.

Cherne Altovise is one place you definitely want to check out for fashion - and our friends at Out and About Magazine just featured Cherne Bishop for her work in bringing great fashion to the area.

Here's an excerpt:

Class of 2012 University of Delaware fashion merchandising major Cherné Altovise Bishop, owner of the 316 N. Market St. accessories shop Cherné Altovise, is enthusiastic about her store’s approaching one-year anniversary on Oct. 17.

The milestone is just one check on the 26-year-old entrepreneur’s list of career goals, which includes future locations in Philadelphia, Baltimore and New York City – all of them based on her slogan of creating options for the “everyday fashion icon.”
