The Acadia Cinema Cooperative Ltd. (ACC) is a unique nonprofit community arts cooperative established (2002) to save the landmark Acadia Cinema building, 450 Main Street, Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Canada, and to redesign, restore, revitalize, create and operate cultural facilities located in the building with a café and art gallery on the premises.
The Acadia Cinema Cooperative and Just Us! Coffee Roasters Co-op own the Acadia Cinema building. The ACC owns the Acadia Cinema’s Al Whittle Theatre, and operates it and Studio-Z (2010). Just Us! owns and operates their Wolfville Just Us! Coffeehouse. Together with Youth Challenge International, they established Jack’s Gallery (2009) in the new theatre lobby. Home of ACC’s anchor tenant, the Fundy Film Society, the Al Whittle Theatre has been available to shareholders, patrons and presenters since November 2004.
On May 25, we give our regards to Broadway with top local talent performing a variety of musical theatre numbers. Enjoy music and refreshments in this community-spirited talent showcase in support of Wolfville’s Acadia Cinema building.

The Acadia Cinema Coop is pleased to welcome Mary Harwell as the new theatre manager for the Al Whittle Theatre, effective February 6. Mary has an impressive background in stage management and runs her own small business, Tempest Restaurant, with husband, Chef Michael Howell. She is plugged into the Wolfville community and we are excited to have her part-time. Now there’s even more to celebrate in this, our 100th anniversary year as a cultural venue in Wolfville.
A new sign, which highlights local involvement in saving the Acadia Cinema building for community purposes, is now proudly displayed on the building exterior under the marquee entrance.
