For a birthday party that truly SPARKLES, head to the Prospector Theater! https://news.hamlethub.com/chappaqua/places/3170-for-a-birthday-party-that-truly-sparkles-head-to-the-prospector-theater3170-for-a-birthday-party-that-truly-sparkles-head-to-the-prospector-theater https://news.hamlethub.com/chappaqua/places/3170-for-a-birthday-party-that-truly-sparkles-head-to-the-prospector-theater3170-for-a-birthday-party-that-truly-sparkles-head-to-the-prospector-theater

Birthday Parties at The Prospector are nothing short of MAGICAL!

Why the Prospector? 

The movie theater vibe is celebratory! It sparkles (and so do the Theater employees a.k.a. “Prospects”). The guest of honor and all party attendees will get the “pink glove” treatment the minute they walk through the double doors and enter Ridgefield’s non-profit movie theater. 

From pizza to decor and more, the Prospector can do it all (making for a stress-free happy day!)

Pre-movie Festivities

Upon arrival, you will be greeted in the lobby by your Event Lead. Look for a welcome sign with balloons in the lobby, along with a gift cart. Once all guests have arrived, it’s upstairs to the Star Bar for pizza, cake, and some celebration.   

Show Time! 

After the candles are blown out, guests will make their way to one of the Prospector’s four theaters. You’ll feel like a VIP with reserved seating for all guests, popcorn and a choice of drink, and a special birthday shout-out during the usher speech. And with no limit on the number of party guests, you can plan your next intimate celebration or blowout bash.

Pricing is $26pp for opening weekends (Friday night through Sunday evening) and $21pp for any other showing. One adult chaperone is mandatory for every 10 guests under the age of 18

Start planning your next event by filling out our Public Party Form!

Sparkle & Smiles All Around

Create lifetime memories  while supporting a nonprofit dedicated to providing competitive and integrated employment to people with disabilities through the operation of a premium, first-run movie theater in Ridgefield, CT. Read about the Prospector’s mission here.

Join the Chappaqua Library, Horace Greeley Student Club ENOUGH and The Town of New Castle Holocaust & Human Rights Committee to hear Author Bonnie Siegler in conversation with Rabbi Aaron Brusso. There will be a book signing after the event.

Family lore had it that author Bonnie Siegler’s grandfather Jules crossed paths with Marilyn Monroe in Midtown Manhattan late one night in 1954, her white dress flying up around her as she filmed a scene for The Seven Year Itch. Siegler wasn’t sure she quite believed her grandfather’s story…until, cleaning out his apartment, she found the film reel. That discovery would prompt her to investigate her grandfather’s seemingly-tall tales — and lead her in pursuit of a remarkable, poignant piece of forgotten history, bridging old Hollywood, the birth of the comic book, and the Holocaust. The American Way is a kaleidoscopic tale of hope and reinvention, of daring escapes and fake identities, of big dreams and the magic of movies, and what it means to be a real-life Superman.

If you are interested in purchasing a book to be signed please email info@scatteredbooks.com

Employed, Engaged, & Excited for the Next Journey - Aaron’s Prospector Story https://news.hamlethub.com/chappaqua/neighbors/3161-employed-engaged-excited-for-the-next-journey-aaron-s-prospector-story3161-employed-engaged-excited-for-the-next-journey-aaron-s-prospector-story https://news.hamlethub.com/chappaqua/neighbors/3161-employed-engaged-excited-for-the-next-journey-aaron-s-prospector-story3161-employed-engaged-excited-for-the-next-journey-aaron-s-prospector-story

Meaningful work is a vehicle through which we can grow, dream, and transform our lives. For many, the road to employment is filled with roadblocks and detours, revving up feelings of frustration, isolation, and insecurity. However, with the right support, and a drive to succeed, a job can help us reach our dream destination. That’s exactly what former Prospect Aaron Miller is doing with his life.

Aaron’s journey at the Prospector began over eight years ago. As a high schooler, Aaron worked nights and weekends as an usher, concessionist, and member of the Prospector’s Clean Team. The team at the Prospector soon discovered Aaron’s sparkle - or talents and passions. It was ultimately Aaron’s introduction to the Facilities team that sparked a passion for hands-on, hard work. Through performing regular maintenance and repairs around the Theater and grounds, Aaron began to shine - keeping the property in tip-top shape. From touch-up painting to landscaping, cabinet-making to concessions repairs, Aaron established a reputation as a handyman-extraordinaire. 

His technical and mechanical skills led him to Gemstone Farm - a working farm in Connecticut that partners with the Prospector to create competitive and inclusive employment opportunities for people with disabilities. Gemstone’s operation spans over 160 acres and features a garden, orchard, beehives, lakes, ponds, chickens, goats, sheep, pigs, and much more. With plenty of farm machinery and vehicles needing maintenance and upkeep, Aaron became a vital part of the Gemstone program.

The road before Aaron became clear. He put the pedal to the metal and began automotive school. Prospector’s Facilities Manager, Steven St. Germain saw the wheels turning for Aaron, and helped him kick it into high gear. “We had talked about his internship in order to get his auto mechanics license,” recalls St. Germain. “I encouraged him to pursue this to start his career and dream of working on cars. We had conversations about the future; how to save money, the importance of following your dreams while you're young, and well, leading that good life.”

A few months later, Aaron had big news to share with Steve. “One day he came in and told me he had gotten his internship and was planning a move to Florida,” says St. Germain. But there was more. Aaron proposed to his longtime girlfriend and they were moving to Florida to build a life together and pursue Aaron’s dream of becoming an automotive mechanic. 

“We’re so proud of him and how much he’s grown,” says Jane Swiatek, head of the Prospector’s Clean Team. “I am so proud and honored to have worked alongside Aaron.” The team at the Prospector will certainly miss seeing Aaron around the Theater, fixing and tinkering, working and smiling. They’re sad to see him go, but excited for the new opportunities and life he will build. 

“Between the time he told me about his plans and his leaving, we had conversations about the future,” remembers St. Germain. “How to save money, the importance of following your dreams while you're young, and well, leading that good life. The life we all want for ourselves, for others, wish for others.”

Aaron is in the driver’s seat, on the road to the good life. Enjoy the ride, Aaron!
