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 guests Ari Benmosche and Craig Long, we’ll turn our attention to history of the historic Lafayette Theater and learn 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.

Crossroads of Rockland History, a program of the Historical Society of Rockland County, airs on the third Monday of each month at 9:30 am, right after the Jeff and Will morning show, on WRCR Radio 1700 AM and www.WRCR.com. Join host Clare Sheridan as we explore, celebrate, and learn about our local history, with different topics and guest speakers every month.

Using this app, one can listen on a handheld device, a smart speaker or a& computer. And as always, the broadcast will be available as a podcast, later in the day on the HSRC website, and on all major podcast platforms.
