Rep. Sylvia Garcia Statement On The Closing Of River Oaks Theatre

HOUSTON, TX - Today, Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia (TX-29) issued the following statement in response to the announcement that the River Oaks Theater in Houston will be closing:

"As a lifelong film fan and loyal patron of River Oaks Theatre since I moved to Houston, I am saddened that it has been forced to close. More than just a place for movies, it is a cultural asset for our community. For many years, it has been the only venue to host screenings for countless diverse films. Our lives have been better because of these artistic and entertainment offerings. I would hope that all parties reconsider their positions and go back to the negotiating table to save a true Houston landmark. Houston without the River Oaks Theatre is like a library without books."
