The Comet Theater in Cook, the oldest active single-screen theater left in Minnesota, faced an existential crisis this spring and has survived. Last week, the theater announced it had met its Kickstarter goal of raising $80,000 for new digital equipment allowing them to show modern features. Movie studios are no longer sending film versions of their releases anymore.

This reflects a lot of work and generosity on the part of people around the state. Good for them!

Now that you know about the Comet Theater, try to stop by and catch a show if you’re up north this summer.
