The Triplex Cinema - Great Barrington MA ... The Triplex Cinema was built on the site of a former lumberyard in downtown Great Barrington, Massachusetts. Opening in November of 1995 with Mighty Aphrodite, the theater was off to a great start. The Triplex was the brainchild of local businessman Richard Stanley and architect Joe Wasserman. Their combined vision saw a need in Southern Berkshire County for both additional screens and an opportunity to show a wider variety of great films. The Triplex's four theaters offer patrons a comfortable, relaxed venue to watch critically acclaimed independent films as well as blockbuster hits from major studios.

Programming for the Triplex has extended beyond the usual to include live and other associated events. Over the years, this has included programs specially designed for children, too. Highlights of some of the children's series have included Roger the Jester, David Grover, and The Robbins-Zust Marionettes. Documentaries are a regular offering at The Triplex. Acclaimed documentaries liked Winged Migration play along with the controversial like Fahrenheit 9/11 and The Weather Underground. A discussion with Mark Rudd, a principal member of the Weather Underground movement, followed a sold out showing. In addition, The Triplex strives to be more than just a movie theater, but a real asset to the community. We try, whenever possible, to make our facilities available to organizations and community groups. Most recently a W.E.B Dubois exhibit sponsored by The Railroad Street Youth Project was held in our lobby and various special presentations have played in our theaters when scheduling has allowed.
