Hollywood Theater will continue to hold "Breakfast and a Movie" events, and the Sugar Cafe owner will continue providing the meal.
It wasn't long after Dormont's Hollywood Theater partnered with Sugar Cafe for "Breakfast and a Movie" events that the popular Dormont cafe unexpectedly closed its doors. This led to questions on the Facebook pages of both organizations about whether the new event would continue. The answer, according to Friends of Hollywood Theater member Margaret Jackson, is yes.
