Community Partnerships

The Coolidge is proud to serve as a partner and resource for fellow nonprofit, cultural and educational institutions in our area.

Over the past 90 years, the Coolidge Corner Theatre has played an indelible role in the development and social history of the Town of Brookline and Greater Boston area. We program films and education and engagement opportunities to reach wide and diverse audiences. Here are some of the additional ways we connect with our community.
